Hi,

I historically have used PFSense with PBblocker-NG to restrict access to certain websites (protecting the kids).  In addition i've also been using DNS resolver function for the local network via PFSense.

I'm looking to replace PFsense with a Firewalla device as I like the notification/reporting aspects (which seem far superior to PFsense).

One question pls - Can Firewalla function as a local DNS resolver or am I better off looking at alternative (a PI running a DNS server for example).

Thanks

  Hi Ben,

  You can use Pi-Hole directly on Firewalla. More details are in the following article: https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034635473-Tutorial-Running-Pi-Hole-on-Firewalla-Blue-in-5-min

   

  Thanks,

  Feras
