Greetings,

I would love to have an option to install PiHole on my Opnsense box. I have many small shops running Opnsense on an APU2 board, and I would like to avoid installing an additional Raspberry only for PiHole. I did some research, but most articles I found talked about configuring Opnsense to use PiHole.

Is there anybody working on that, or is there already a way to accomplish that and I didn“t find it yet? For technical reasons I cannot use proxies (only if it would be transparent).

Thanks

Bind and dnscrypt plugins support DNSBL features, many guides out there

Good morning,

I'm fairly new to OPNsense and love it so far.  I'm currently using a PI-Hole VM getting queries from unbound (installed on same VM as PI-Hole) that queries the root DNS servers.  Is there a guide for us new to OPNsense that I could follow to setup BIND and DNSCrypt to work like a PI-Hole to block ADs on my network?

Thank you!

Hey there minnynkss15. I followed the  Readme of  Matija Zezelj : https://github.com/matijazezelj/unbound-adblock
It works perfectly.

Nice, but it would even be nicer if it was possible to have the generic black lists, personal black lists and personal white lists to be maintainable from the GUI. Personally, I don't need the full flashy Pi-Hole experience but easy maintainable lists are a must.

Instructions for generic black lists, personal whitelists:

Use System -> Settings -> Cron -> "Download BIND DNSBLs and Restart" to automate updates.

I haven't tried personal black lists, but this posts seems to indicate the sensei plugin can help:
