tenshi

This utility fetches a curated hosts file, generates Unbound local-zone entries from it, and saves them to /etc/unbound/local-blocking-data.conf.

At the moment, only Steven Black's hosts file is used. Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts.

This utility is meant to work on Linux. It is untested on Mac, and will probably not work on Windows.

You will want to add include: "local-blocking-data.conf" to your Unbound config to use the result.

This package is available on crates.io at https://crates.io/crates/tenshi, and the Arch User Respository at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tenshi-rs.

Installation

Prerequisites

Install either rustup or rust using your favorite package manager.

This utility has been tested to work with Rust 1.34.2.

sudo is needed if you do not have write access to /etc/unbound/local-blocking-data.conf.

Synopsis

If installed with Cargo or built from source, run sudo tenshi, excluding sudo if you have write access to /etc/unbound/local-blocking-data.conf.
