OPNsense Ad Blocking Better Than Expected | Full Setup

In this video, I set up network-wide ad blocking on my OPNsense firewall using DNSBL with the EasyList and AdGuard blocklists. This setup blocks many ads, trackers, and unwanted domains across your entire network without installing ad blockers on every device. 🔹 What I cover: Installing and configuring DNSBL Adding EasyList and AdGuard blocklists Testing network-wide ad blocking What works and what doesn’t Real-world results from my home lab ⚠️ Note: DNS based ad blocking will not block every ad. Services like YouTube often require additional solutions because ads are served from the same domains as the content. 📺 Start Here (Part 1): OPNsense Initial Firewall Setup:    • I Built a Homelab Firewall from Scratch wi...   🛠️ My Home Lab: Protectli Firewall running OPNsense Aruba 1930 Switch Network Wide DNS Filtering If you’re building a home lab, learning networking, or looking to improve your home network security, consider subscribing.
