Personally I use a (free) OpenDNS account which allows much finer control over categories, block and whitelists the ddclient script on a linux box in my LAN keeps my volatile residential DHCP IP address updated at OpenDNS (see ). The DNS server IP addresses for these two options are:
#Opendns updater pfsense free#
The simplest way is to point DNS servers in your router (or pfSense) to a free service like Norton ConnectSafe () or OpenDNS FamilyShield ().
Consolidated Domain Name Blocklist ( This is NOT pfBlockerNG compatible, but useful for folks running dnsmasq daemon on their internet gateway).
#Opendns updater pfsense for free#
I make consolidated IP address and Domain Name blocklists available for free public use from my VPS at the following links feel free to use them. Instead of digging through the logs to figure out which list is blocking your desired domain and disabling the entire list, you can simply add the domains that should not be blocked in the nifty Custom Domain Whitelist feature included as part of the DNSBL configuration. Sometimes a domain blocklist included in pfSense pfBlockerNG DNSBL configuration will block URLs that you find useful and want to visit. PfSense pfBlockerNG DNSBL Custom Domain Whitelist PfBlockerNG DNSBL Custom Domain Whitelist I like to keep blocklists formatted like the /etc/hosts file in a separate group. This group contains another long list of advertising domains, malware, ransomware, adware, spyware, tracker and generally undesirable domain blocklists updated daily. PfBlockerNG DNSBL General hosts File Format Blocklist Group If you wish, you can turn them on for a more secure DNSBL at the cost of filtering out some websites that are otherwise useful. I turned the Eladkarako and Immortal Long Lived Malware Domains blocklists off because they were too generic and were blocking too many websites used by folks in my home. This includes advertising services, thus making my pfSense firewall an effective ad blocker for all devices on my entire home network. This group contains a collection of malware, ransomware, adware, spyware, tracker and generally undesirable domain blocklists updated once every day. PfBlockerNG DNSBL General Domain Blocklist Group The feeds in this group are updated every hour. Following advice from the pfSense forum, I use the "FLEX" as the State to retrieve feeds over https in cases where the usual "ON" state fails to retrieve them citing a peculiar curl error " SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" on pfSense. I use the OpenPhish blocklist to block out emerging zero-day phishing and spear-phishing domains. PfBlockerNG DNSBL Zero-Day Threat Domain Blocklist I have grouped the DNSBL feeds into three groups. The DNSBL configuration redirects domain name lookups for blocked domains to my own "httpd410server" DNS sinkhole. In addition to IP blocklists, I also extensively use pfBlockerNG's domain name blocklisting feature with publicly available domain blocklists. Level 2 IP blocklists are updated every 2 hours. I only have Firehol Level 2, Ransomware Tracker IP blacklists from abuse.ch including CryptoWall, Locky, TeslaCrypt, TorrentLocker C&C and Payment, and Zeus tracker and ci badguys IP deny blocklists at my level 2, which is also configured to block all outgoing as well as incoming connections. In addition to IoT C&C botnets, the other primary threat today is from Ransomware.
