unifios-utilities VS pihole-updatelists

I just purchased the unifi express and I have been researching its capabilities and more specifically ad blocking functionality. I have found that people are complaining about the ad blocking abilities not being very granular and referring to unifios-utilities and running something like pi hole or adguard as an alternative. Can I safely assume that these options will be available to the unifi express?

https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities <- this cannot be more simple to digest. Stop spreading FUD (and learn to code if you still don't understand how Github works and what is linked)

Install on boot script: https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script

Not natively but they run dnsmasq so you can use unifios-utilities with an on-boot-script to modify dnsmasq’s config and add whatever records you need, including wildcard

I'm using this fork of the official pihole docker https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists. This docker image by default contains the block lists form https://firebog.net/, but only the safe ones that shouldn't affect web browsing which is what I've seen the past few days I've been running it.

I'm using https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists to take care of that, recommended.

You configure black lists in pihole that block the pertinent domains. There are even adding you can install that will keep the black lists updated (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists)

Hello fellow unRAIDERs. I’ve got Pihole up and running no issues. I’ve seen suggestions for “The Firebog” (https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php) as extra URL’s to add to Pihole. One was wondering general consensus are people doing and like the results? And for the unRAID specific question I did a quick search for the “pihole-updatelists” (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists) in the apps section so wondering if anyone has been able to automate this process on their unRAID server. It seems to me initial look like that would be almost necessary to not create lots of extra work. Thanks!

I had to look back at my configuration. I actually build a container with Unbound and it uses https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists to auto update block lists with firebog.net lists.

Especially if you use something like jacklul/pihole-updatelists
