Hi,

I'm new to OPNsense and found the BIND plugin to help me secure searches on google, and others, especially YouTube.  However, the restrict.youtube.com domain seems to be VERY locked down. 

It seems that the BIND plugin is following the recommendation to:

Add a CNAME for the following hostnames:
www.youtube.com
m.youtube.com
youtubei.googleapis.com
youtube.googleapis.com
www.youtube-nocookie.com
To set strict restricted access, set the CNAME value to restrict.youtube.com.

BUT, just below that line there's another option:
To set moderate restricted access, set the CNAME value to restrictmoderate.youtube.com.

I think it would be good to have this available in the Web interface.  For now, I'm just going to get the A record for restrict.youtube.com, and set the others to that same IP - That should have the same effect, but this would be one more option to give users.

Edit:  I seem to have placed this in the wrong forum.  Can a moderator move it to a more appropriate location?

Can you Open a feature request in GitHub please? I can add this when I find time
