Using Large List on netgate 1100
-
I have a netgate 1100 and I thought of using the UT1_adult list to block access to users who try to see this type of content.
As his hardware is weak (1GB of RAM), I was afraid he might not be able to handle it. Because just downloading the list makes the CPU stay at 99%.
Can I use this list? No yes, with TLD enabled?
Or should I use another option? If I use another option, how can I bar this type of content with pgBlockerNG-devel?

@thepokywizard It looks like that is 4.5 million entries? Do you have deduplication turned off? The CPU on the 1100 is not exactly fast... Make sure your "Firewall Maximum Table Entries" setting in System/Advanced is at least 5-6 million.
Alternately you might forward DNS queries to some sort of "kid safe" DNS servers. I don't know any to suggest, though.
Either way you probably need to block DNS over HTTP so browsers don't bypass your DNS server/router.

The CPU is half the battle here. That large list will quickly chew up the remains of the 1GB RAM.
