Cron Job for updating Unbound DNSBLs

[wbennett]

I am trying to figure out how to create a cron job for Unbound DNSBL blocklists. I went under System/Settings/Cron but I don't see anything regarding DNSBL under the dropdown list. Any help would be appreciated.

Update: Solved - Didn't scroll down far enough  :-[

What list(s) would you recommend?

I only use the threat fox database.   it takes up at least 28% of memory on my 4gb Dec670

If I use a custom link for the blocklist (URLs of Blacklists) instead of the predefined Type of DNSBL, will the cron I had created for the automatic daily (Update Unbound DNSBLs) download will also pull the updates from  the custom URLs of Blocklists link? Thanks

Yes, it does work, they are updated at the times specified in the cron job.
BTW I am using the Hagezi blocklists: https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists

I am also using Hagezi, my blocklist is the Hagezi Pro ++.

I selected the format: Wildcard Asterisk (Blocky (v0.23 or newer), Nebulo, NetDuma, OPNsense, YogaDNS), because it says OPNsense, is this the correct one for OPNsense?

Or should I use RPZ (Response Policy Zone, Bind, Knot, PowerDNS, Unbound), because I says unbound?

Thank you

Regarding the cron job, I am not a cron expert, I used the default:

0 0 * * * : This means run daily at midnight 00:00? Please could you confirm

Thanks a lot

at midnight 00:00

00:00 is midnight normally, confirmed.  ;D

Thank you, I forgot the parenthesis midnight (00:00), appreciate the help

Wildcard asterisk is the correct one, the RPZ file is an Unbound native format which isn't understood by the OPNsense download / install / update handling logic. You can also check this if you look in the unbound logging, if you select the wrong file format it isn't being recognized.

I went under System/Settings/Cron

Hi,

How can I extend this list on my own, I went through the code but couldn't find anything related to adding anything in the cron from the UI, I could find All the actions.d commands there but no clue on how to add/remove items from that list.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in Advance!
