=== Step 5: Add DNSBL Feeds & IP blocklist feeds (Lists of Ad Domains) === <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=250 widths=400 perrow=2> File:lu55028jxb9s_tmp_ab93a985.png File:lu55028jxb9s_tmp_e7f85dc0.png File:lu55028jxb9s_tmp_d117a3f0.png </gallery> Let me explain how these feeds work in pfBlockerNG because the interface can be intimidating for a newbie. The feeds tab has two main sections: IP address feeds at the top (for blocking specific IPs) and DNS feeds at the bottom (for blocking domain names like googleadservices.com). When you’re looking at the feeds, you’ll see these checkboxes and plus signs that can be a bit confusing. Here’s what they mean: * If you see a checkbox on the left, that means it’s a GROUP of feeds. If you see a blue checkbox next to “PRI1” that means all the feeds under that group are already enabled. * Individual feeds will have their own checkboxes to show if they’re active. * The plus signs let you add new feeds to your configuration. When you want to add feeds, click the plus sign to add the feed. For IP blocklists, make sure the action is set to '''“Deny Both”'''. For DNS blocklists, set the action to '''“Unbound”'''. Even if you see something’s already checked, sometimes clicking “Enable All” can catch feeds that weren’t properly activated. I’ve had weird situations where I thought I added everything in a group but missed some - the interface isn’t always super clear about what’s actually enabled. For what to block: I avoid blocking things like Tor or torrent trackers. Why would you block that? That’s like DDoSing Pornhub - they’re giving you free stuff! One of them blocks AWS, avoid that unless you want non-functional internet (sadly the world runs on AWS whether we like it or not). <blockquote>It is very easy to block too much and then not be able to log into youtube, receive email, visit your bank, etc. More isn’t better here. </blockquote> # Go to '''Firewall > pfBlockerNG > Feeds'''. # Scroll to the '''DNSBL Feeds''' section. # Add multiple feeds by clicking on different categories and enabling relevant lists. # For each selected feed: #* For DNS block lists, set “Action” to '''Unbound'''. #* For IP lists, set “Action” to '''Deny Both'''. # There is a blue “ENABLE ALL” method at the bottom that will often save you a lot of time. # Recommended categories to add: #* Easylist #* Malicious #* Phishing #* Malware #* Suspicious #* Trackers #* Spam (for email) # '''Avoid adding feeds that might block legitimate services (e.g., AWS, public DNS servers, Tor).''' # After selecting feeds, click '''Save''' to apply these DNSBL lists. # Don’t enable/turn them on one by one. When you click on a list of feeds, note the blue '''“enable all”''' button. ''Don’t be like Louis of 2018 & toggle each line to “on” manually like an idiot (I actually did this :’( )'' <span id="step-6-update-and-apply-lists"></span>
