unbound - empty reporting

[opn_minded]

hi!

i'm on OPNsense 23.1.1_2.

when i have a look under reporting > unbound dns, the "main stats" "total"/"resolved"/"block" remain the same for days, only the "size of blocklist" varies.

i'm using hosts.oisd.nl (hope that's the right format for opn-unbound) as single custom blocklist.

for example, there's an entry in the blocklist: 0.0.0.0 trace.svc.ui.com (the unifi call-home) and i can see periodical entries like "[43393:2] info: 127.0.0.1 trace.svc.ui.com. AAAA IN" in unbounds' log.

is there something i can do (even though i hope it's just a visual effect, not a functional)?

i tried now with several blocklist-formats:
- https://big.oisd.nl/unbound: lines: 278030 exclude: 278021 block: 0, doesn't seem to be recognized???
- https://big.oisd.nl: lines: 278029 exclude: 278028 block: 0, same as above???
- https://hosts.oisd.nl: lines: 856384 exclude: 0 block: 856376, works

q1) does anyone know why a dedicated unbound-formatted blocklist would have "block: 0" after download?
q2) after testing several blocklists above, suddenly the reporting started to work again. does anyone have the same behavior?

Some of the files you linked are using syntax which OPNSense doesn't support.
e.g. https://big.oisd.nl/ uses syntax for AdBlock Plus (||domain^) i think

For OPNSense you would prefer a simple list of domains (https://big.oisd.nl/domains) as also needed for e.g. Pi-hole
or hosts file which is slightliy bigger but will also work.

For empty reporting i have no answer.
