Trying to add Unbound Blocklists and Firewall Aliases. Found something weird

[jorglodita]

Hi! I was using 2 ways of blocking ads inside OPNsense itself, using Unbound and Using Aliases.

1srt way, Using Unbound is easy:
Services > Unbound DNS > Blocklist > URLs of Blocklists.
In there I enter the desired lists. I though it was working as expected.

2nd way, Using Aliases appears easy too:
Firewall > Aliases. Inside that panel just create a new Alias using "URL Table (IPs)" option, entering there the desired lists.

I was using the first method, but doing a new setup with the second one makes me wonder if the first one is really working:

1.- Want to create a Firewall Alias. I know when creating a URL Table you have to select the "Refresh Frequency". By default I was not getting any "Loaded" rule (waited more then 30 minutes after creating without any luck, hoping it would populate on creation). The first list refresh should be automatic or its intended and I must wait for the first refresh (or force by a cron job) to be populated?

2.- This is more important. After doing a cron job to force the lists to be populated I encountered they loaded just "a few" rules ("a few": around 30000 entries of a total of around 200000. The default limit is 1000000, so that its not the problem). In some lists it didnt load anything. To test this I went to Diagnostics > Aliases for checking.

3.- Related to that prior questions I have another one: I now Aliases are not taking the full list of rules. How can I know what is happening when using the same lists on Unbound blocklists? Now I doubt Unbound is using the full lists of rules, apparently Unbound dont have any panel with info about which rules is really using.

PD: I am using the green ticked rules from "https://firebog.net/".

Thanks a lot in advance!
