I apologize if this is common knowledge, I am still a beginner user.
I would like to block malicious domains/ips from my network, preferably using external blocklists. I would like to have a good deal of control over what gets blocked.
I tried to research this problem, but the best solution I found was networking.stevenblack
, which doesn’t give much control.
Is there a more customizable option? I’d like to gather my own blocklists.
Thanks, that seems to be a wonderful solution! Exactly what I’m looking for!
Hmm…
I’m trying to use this on my laptop for use with untrusted networks, and I am having a hard time figuring out how to get it to work.
I’ve set networking.nameservers = [ "127.0.0.1" ];
and I’ve set up and configured services.blocky
on port 53 (as is default)
I notice that KDE (which I am using) has its own DNS settings. Do I have to change those to reflect my NixOS settings? This seems a bit tedious…
(I’m testing if Blocky is working by visiting one of the websites I’ve redirected with services.blocky.settings.customDNS.rewrite
.)
