Has anyone used https://controld.com/?
I was exploring different DNS management services, and this one caught my attention. I know it’s similar to what pfBlocker offers, but I’ve personally had a bad experience with pfBlocker DNS blocking—it’s very slow and just clunky. I believe I heard Lawrence mention that he no longer uses pfBlocker for DNS blocking.
It seems Control-D requires a custom installation on pfSense. What are the implications of this? I couldn’t find it in pfSense’s package repository.
I was honestly a bit confused when looking at this. I figured you could simply point your pfSense DNS forwarder to their IP, and it would just work.

Copied from their github this is what they recommend for a manual installation:

If you feel antsy about blindly running random bash scripts off the Internet with system privilege (don’t blame you), you can simply download the appropriate FreeBSD binary from the Releases section for your CPU architecture. Put it into a nice folder that’s in your system path, like /usr/local/bin/ and make it executable.
