Best firewall solution for gaming sites

[mnhim001]

I have 3 kids at home that are gamers and streamers.  I have setup OPNsense and enabled Unbound DNS using the AdGuard List.  This caused all their gaming sites to no longer work.  I added a bunch of sites to the Allowlist Domains.

My question is, is this the best solution? or is there another solution? I was thinking of installing AdGuard Home plugin, but not sure if its just going to give me the same results.

What I am looking for is an ongoing Allow list that I don't have to come back up update manually.

By using a mechanism that "always" blocks known ad distributing sites, you will automatically trigger blocks on sites that rely on such ads. The only way of having the best of both worlds is to use ad-blocking mechanisms that fake the ads being displayed. Such mechanisms are available for many browsers, think of uBlock Origin.

A prominent example of a site that does not tolerate ad-blocking is Youtube.

On devices where those tools are not available, you can still use DNS-based ad blockers, e.g. by identifying your smartphones and using AdGuard DNS rules only for those devices.
