- ubiquiti edge router x from ~2019.. there's a bash script on the box for updating the blocklist, the rest of the configuration can be done in the GUI

- pihole and unbound are running in a VM on an old intel NUC with an i5 and 18GB of RAM. The NUC is running Proxmox, and is connected to the edgerouter over ethernet

- Separately, there's a ubiquiti WAP and a standalone modem, but there's nothing special about their configuration

Sad that in 2023 Ubiquiti's Unifi line does not support IP tables redirect of *:53 to 192.168.x.x for DNS.

Their older stuff did not really supported it as well..

you could do it, but just because the USG software was a fork of Vyatta that had a way for doing it and Ubiquiti never put the effort to block it..

So while there was a way of doing it, it was never really officially supported..

But this is why when it came time to upgrade my USG3 i choose to migrate to Opnsense (pfsense fork) instead of upgrading to the latest Ubiquiti router.

Which device are you running? And how are you doing WiFi?

US-8-150W, US-16-150W and US-FLEX-Mini for switches

UAP-AC-Lite for APs.

Dell PowerEdge R420 with proxmox hosting Opnsense as router, AdGuard Home for DNS, Unifi Controller hosted on Ubuntu and Home Assistant.
