DNS Blacklists

To block unwanted traffic, unbound can be configured to blacklist domains.

Inside /var/unbound/etc/unbound.conf, insert these directives:

local-zone: "www.domain.com" static

You can obtain a list of domains to block using StevenBlack's hosts files. I used the [unified hosts + porn + gambling filter to block unwanted content.

$ ftp https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/gambling-porn/hosts

We need to reformat this hosts file:

$ awk '!/^ *#/ && NF' hosts > newhosts # taken from stevenblack's list
$ sed 's/0\.0\.0\.0 \([^#]*\).*$/local-zone: "\1" static/' newhosts > newhosts2
$ sed 's/  "/"/' newhosts2 > newhosts3

Manually check for malformed entries, then put this into /var/unbound/etc/unbound.conf.
