# DNSFW

A simple DNS firewall.

## Installation

* Install dnsmasq on your favorite Linux computer (I built my DNS firewall on a RaspberryPi).

* Clone this repo to your home directory.

* Replace the default dnsmasq config file /etc/dnsmasq.conf with the one in this repo.

* Edit the dnsmasq.conf file to specify your upstream DNS server.

* Create the directory /opt/blocklists.

* Create the file /opt/blocklists/custom.list. Add to this file any custom domains you would like to block.

* Edit the blocklist.urls file with links to the blocklist files you want to download.

* Setup a cron job to run the update_bl.sh script as often as you like (I run it once a month).

* Configure your computer to use the new DNS server.

* Enjoy your Internet again.
