Solved Pi-hole alternative

jdb · Sep 25, 2018

Hey guys

I am currently searching a Pi-hole alternative...

Are there any alternatives supporting FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance!

You will have to configure a couple of pkgs to function like Pi-hole. The pkgs include unbound, dnscrypt and so on. Tkae a look at https://github.com/lepiaf/adblock-unbound .

I'm using dns/void-zones-tools for quite some time now. Works great.

it is posible, that dns/dns2blackhole is doing the ame job as pi-hole?

...or dns/unbound?

This exact question was on HackerNews today. I will quote here some of the conversation:

news.ycombinator.com

Automatically updated, moderated and optimized lists for blocking ads, trackers and other online garbage - notracking/hosts-blocklists

github.com

"pihole is essentially this (dnsmasq + banlist), but with a pretty UI and admin page"
dns/dnsmasq is in ports and above is a banlist.

Yes, see https://github.com/cyclaero/void-zones-tools, this made it into the ports - dns/void-zones-tools, and there is also a fork wich include more black lists.
