I am trying out the blacklist feature, but how can I verify it is actually working? I have increased the log level and enable query logging, but am not sure what to look for.

Also, do I need to enable both 'type of blacklist' and 'URL of blacklist' for blacklisting to work?
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

You can login via CLI and check the content auf blacklist, then try to resolve a domain listed there

less /var/unbound/etc/dnsbl.conf

In URL of blacklist you can enter your own list or a custom one not available in the dropdown menu.

It looks like hphosts ad_servers.txt (and possibly the others?) is no longer actively being maintained and has been taken down:

Pi-hole is also removing it from their default configuration as well. Just a heads up in case you want to remove it from the next update. :)

Seems to work fine, thanks!
