Official guide to install the AdGuard Home plug in

[logi]

I didn't find the AdGuard Home plug in on a fresh OPNsense installation, is there an official OPNsense guide to add it, thanks

NOTE: sorry for the basic question, new to OPNsense

If you just want some basic adblocking you can enable a Blocklist in Unbound, its already there.

Just go to "Services: Unbound DNS: Blocklist" and select "Enable", choose the "AdGuard List" and any other additional one, e.g. "Steven Black List" and press Apply. Done.

Great, thank you, apart from AdGuard List, do you have a recommended one? I used HaGeZi Pro++ before with AdGuard Home

Added Steve’s blacklist, enable it, but is only blocking 60%, same blocklist on Adguard Home blocks more than 90%, I think I am missing a setting or configuration, thoughts? Thanks

Is there any measurable than just these estimations?

Can you say a domain that is not blocked, but is part of the Steven Black List for example?

Straight from the horse's mouth - I turned off DNS and had 100% blocked.

I am using this utility (link below) to check ad blocking performance, I don't know if its the best or accurate though, feedback is appreciated, thanks a lot

With Steven Black I get around 65%
With Hagezi Pro ++ I get 93%+

Well, that is awesome, except that it's completely irrelevant when comparing blocking performance of different resolvers with identical blocklists...

Yes, sorry, I mixed things a little bit here, the latest measurements (65% and 93%+) are within OPNsense UnGuard DNS blocklist only, comparing the two blocklists, no Adguard Home involved.

I get 93% in that test just with Steves Blacklist, so maybe there is some RNG in there. 1d20

I will try again with Steve's blacklist, maybe yesterday I didn't properly flush DNS cache, I will give it more time to settle, thank you for the feedback

I have seen some online articles (link below) where they will define a FW rule (NAT) to ensure everything goes through OPNsense/UnBound DNS, is it really necessary? Thanks
