Comment on Presenting ilias, yet another dashboard because obviously the world needed one more

  Its just an idea…

  When my router says “threat” and gives me an IP address, this address gets added to a big ass database that all routers see. Then every router in the world blocks their ass out…get them to go to a government office and ID themselves as an adult if they want back in.

    The only problem is it probably IS an adult human, a 85 year old running windows XP to check the church newsletter every Sunday.

    (the newsletter is also hosted on xp)

    soo… servers your router doesn’t like for whatever reason blocked for everyone else? with gov ID checks? why would we want that?

    and how is this a dashboard idea?

    @altphoto @selfhosted This is essentially what Pi-Hole does. It handles your DNS queries and blocks any that you want. It automatically updates blocklists from a variety of sources available. Some IPs are trackers, advertisers, malware, phishing and other notorious or otherwise obnoxious. You decide. Works great. I have about 1.7 million IP addresses blocked, but only a couple thousand or so show up on any day. Amounts to between 5% and 8% of my total traffic. I cannot fully express my joy with the FREE software. I have a dedicated Raspberry Pi 4B on my network for this purpose, but it can run on almost any Linux variant. #RPi #homelab #DNS #PiHole
