Unbound-Plus Blacklist Set-up.

[brim2full]

In the absense of documentation specifically relating to unbound-plus plugin.  Could some one please confirm, or other wise correct my understanding. 

The Task:
I'm trying to setup the the blacklist by following the setup documented for the Cashing Proxy "Setup Web Filtering".  So question one: is that reasonable?

I Enabled blacklist, selected Easy List and entered the URL of the full compressed UT1 catagory based list (ftp://ftp.ut-capitole.fr/pub/reseau/cache/squidguard_contrib/blacklists.tar.gz) and pressed save.  However I'm not sure it worked or not.  There were no error messages, no nasty supprises and nothing reported in the Unbound log file.  I canot even see any list of IPs it is actually blocking.  So question two: have I done everything I need to do?

Once I have this setup then question three: how do I get the block list to update?

Regards all and keep save.
Phil

Manual lists expect plain text files with just a domain per line. Unsure if proxy ACL will help there.

You can add a cron job for updates, just like with squid acl

OK I decided to give up for the time being and decided to add a block list using aliases to firewall rules.  I followed the Spamhouse drop dont rout how to and it worked.  What didnt work was importing my own file.  I tried entering: "file://block_lists/block.txt" and "/block_lists/block.txt" and neither actuall imported any thing. 

Incidentally the next scheduled release (June) is tasked with merging unbound-plus so I'll take another look then.Regards

You have to Host it elsewhere. Just upload it on github
