    Great guide - thanks for walking through the step by step *and* explaining the "why" of each setting you discussed.

    Thank you for this walk-through. I've used pfblocker in the past and had issues with use. I never found a good tutorial and abandoned it's use on many of my firewalls just for lack of time to really dig in. Things are a little slower for me lately, so the timing of your video is perfect.

    Bro, I have setup pfsense as DNS server using resolver. Using self signed ssl certificate. I cannot access pfsense gui via domainname but IP resolves. How to troubleshoot this? Thank you?

    Check internal search domain setting on pfsense, make sure you use an “allowed” tld internally and check client settings for dns

    @@vikash-tech-wizard Thanks for the reply. Using hosts file defeats the purpose of DNS. I have tried "allowed" and custom TLDs in vain. It's okay I will find my way. Thanks again.

    You can use IP lists and only enable IP blocking. There are already lists in pfSense which allows blocking based in IP

    Hello, can you elaborate on how you can filter ads while using a microsoft DC, DNS and DHCP server with pfsense as a router?

  • @vikash-tech-wizard

    @vikash-tech-wizard

    Either you forward all DNS request from the DC to pfSense, or you hand out pfSense as a DNS server using DHCP

    You can find a custom list in this post: www.vikash.nl/setup-pi-hole-to-protect-your-network-and-privacy/. Keep in mind you may have other requirements and the lists in pfsense are a good place to start.
