Hello,

Thank you

I configured my laptop's DNS and seems not working, on my logs I'm seeing something similar.

You have to enable the forward request to a public DNS like 8.8.8.8 to enable it. That was my problem at least, let me know if was yours too.

Thanks for the answer but unfortunately I can not make it work.

The first error I encounter after sudo ./ad-blocker.sh the script is:

rndc: 'reload' failed: file not found

Then I see multiple errors like here:

Any ideas how to solve that? Can't find any solution online.

Thanks!

Down in line 189 he's left off an argument the reload script needs to work. You need to change this:

"${RootDir}"/script/reload.sh

To this:

"${RootDir}"/script/reload.sh null.zone.file

Save it and re-run it.

Ah, well, that only fixes one issue, this script is riddled with problems. I fixed some, will have to come back to it though.

Check out the pull request #16. there are some changes to the shell script i had to apply to make it work for me.

Hello, in DSM 7.2 the reload script is not exist. I comment the line out and do a reload with the help of the /etc/crontab 2 minutes later:
systemctl reload pkg-DNSServer

Also the path of the zone files changed!
After this changes in the script the service is working again (quick hack):

include "/etc/zone/data/ad-blocker.db";
-->
include "/var/packages/DNSServer/target/named/etc/zone/data/ad-blocker.db";

wget -O- "$BlocklistURL" |
sed -e 's/null.zone.file//etc/zone/master/null.zone.file/g' > "/tmp/ad-blocker.new"
-->
wget -O- "$BlocklistURL" |
sed -e 's/null.zone.file/null.zone.file/g' > "/tmp/ad-blocker.new"

The first fix should better use the var $ZoneMasterDir.
The second fix don't need the absolute path and the sed command could be removed.
