Today I decided I would create some way of visualizing my unbound DNS requests/blocks on OPNsense. Adguard does a good job at this but I have issue with added third party repos and plugins, especially at the router level.

Anyway…since the last time I've dug into this OPNsense has built in Unbound DNS reporting (since 23.1) and it's amazing! Arguably just as good as Pihole or Adguard. Graphs, lists of top blocked and allowed domains, query logs, quick buttons to block or whitelist next to each domain. I'm impressed.

Not sure if this is the right community, but just wanted to share if some of you weren't aware of this option.
