      Anyone tried running ctrld (https://github.com/Control-D-Inc/ctrld) by Control D (https://controld.com) on pfSense?

      I currently have Control D working with a manual Unbound configuration and I wonder if there are any advantages/experiences of running the additional ctrld software.

      server:
        forward-zone:
          name: "."
          forward-tls-upstream: yes
          forward-addr: 1.2.3.4#xyz.controld.com
          etc. etc. etc.

        @ericafterdark Are you also running pfBlockerNG? It seems that it's similar...have you tried pfBlockerNG?

        pfSense+ 23.09 Lenovo Thinkcentre M93P SFF Quadcore i7 dual Raid-ZFS 128GB-SSD 32GB-RAM PCI-Intel i350-t4 NIC, -Intel QAT 8950.
        pfSense+ 23.09 VM-Proxmox, Dell Precision Xeon-W2155 Nvme 500GB-ZFS 128GB-RAM PCIe-Intel i350-t4, Intel QAT-8950, P-cloud.

          Yes, same idea. Altho Control D has additional functionality. I'll have a look at pfBlockerNG.

            @ericafterdark I'm actually one of the authors of ctrld. If you're into fancy DNS routing, you may dig this article on how to use ctrld with pfSense, and what you can accomplish with it, especially if you use Control D as an upstream. https://github.com/Control-D-Inc/ctrld/wiki/pfSense-and-OPNsense-Operations-Guide
