      I following the following site to start to set up a personal Blocking list but at the moment I can't see why it is not working.

      https://forum.netgate.com/topic/142171/block-custom-domains-in-pfblocker

      I have created a dummy file, and pointed the

      80418a02-27a9-4b9e-a32c-c367a7f10402-image.png

      and then I listed a few sites

      9db40b4c-8294-4d73-a82c-c337b37a076d-image.png

      next I did a ipconfig /flushdns
      and run the update to make sure I have updated the database, but when go the bbc.co.uk or google.com and I see getting access to it, why ?

        Do you have the list action set to Unbound?

        Do you have TLD enabled?

          TBH if I was wanting to block Google I’d use their ASN in pfBlocker.

          What are you trying to block with the BBC, if it’s the iPlayer it on a CDN.

              What are you trying to block

              I am trying to block a long list of sites, that PiHole found, and I was using the BBC and Google as test sites.

              an example of my list is:

              www.bing.com
              m2.nsimg.net
              vcfd1.giraffic.net
              dl.acronis.com

                  you have loss me, DNS over HTTPS ?
                  my DNS is being handled by my PFSENSE DHCP.
                  all I want to do is create a personal list so that I can populate it with a list of Domain names.

                    Some web browsers ignore the machines DNS settings.

                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_HTTPS

                    Your piHole what block list was the hosts hitting, you should be able to create lists in pfBlocker using the same block list, as per:-

                      The DNS-BL VIP uses 10.10.10.1 by default. It looks like you're already using a subnet containing that so you need to change the default value there to something you're not using before it can start.
