Blocky
Blocky is a DNS proxy and ad-blocker for the local network written in Go. It provides network wide adblocking similar to Pi-hole while offering additional features (and it's in nixpkgs).
Configuration Examples
services.blocky = {
enable = true;
settings = {
ports.dns = 53; # Port for incoming DNS Queries.
upstreams.groups.default = [ # You can define as many upstream groups as you want.
"https://one.one.one.one/dns-query" # Using Cloudflare's DNS over HTTPS server for resolving queries.
];
# For initially solving DoH/DoT Requests when no system Resolver is available.
bootstrapDns = {
upstream = "https://one.one.one.one/dns-query";
ips = [ "1.1.1.1" "1.0.0.1" ];
};
#Enable Blocking of certian domains.
blocking = {
blackLists = {
#Adblocking
ads = ["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts"];
#Another filter for blocking adult sites
adult = ["https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/porn.txt"];
#You can add additional categories
};
#Configure what block categories are used
clientGroupsBlock = {
default = [ "ads" ];
kids-ipad = ["ads" "adult"];
};
};
};
Adding Additional Functionality
To add a cache of DNS Requests and Prefetching add:
caching = {
minTime = "5m";
maxTime = "30m"
prefetching = true;
};
