Hey folks,
Just thought I'd share my unbound-adblock script with you guys. It's been around for a couple of years now and was OpenBSD only. I've had a number of people contact me asking about Linux support, as my webpage is one of the top results on google when searching for DNS/network based adblocking. Ask and thou shall receive.
unbound-adblock is highly efficient, and unlike most DNS/network adblockers, we serve an 'NXdomain' response instead of blackholing it, which solves many issues with latency or lockup with older devices and/or cheap IoT stuff etc.
Using cron, unbound-adblock provides an automatically updating blocklist of the Internets most egregious offenders.
It's kind of like Pihole, but instead of involving 10's of thousands of lines of code and root permissions and webservers and whatnot, we instead have less than 100 lines of POSIX shell script and run the code as an unprivileged user, and have very strict and specific sudo/doas permissions for the exact commands requiring elevated privilege. Unbound-adblock requires very little resources to run, and is perfect for running on a small ARM board or VM etc
