# DNS Blacklists

To block unwanted traffic, unbound can be configured to blacklist domains.

Inside /var/unbound/etc/unbound.conf, insert these directives:

    local-zone: "www.domain.com" static


You can obtain a list of domains to block using [StevenBlack's hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts) files. I used the [[unified hosts + porn + gambling](/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/gambling-porn/hosts) filter to block unwanted content.

    $ ftp https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/gambling-porn/hosts


We need to reformat this hosts file:

    $ awk '!/^ *#/ && NF' hosts > newhosts # taken from stevenblack's list
    $ sed 's/0\.0\.0\.0 \([^#]*\).*$/local-zone: "\1" static/' newhosts > newhosts2
    $ sed 's/  "/"/' newhosts2 > newhosts3


Manually check for malformed entries, then put this into /var/unbound/etc/unbound.conf.
