A hosts list that Unbound is augmenting within PiHole. The entire core function of PiHole is leveraging Unbound. Without it, it’s a useless GUI. In fact, you can completely ditch PiHole, if you know what you’re doing, and simply run Unbound as a daemon in a minimal container and do exactly what PiHole does with less resources.

I think I can spare the 55mb of ram my pihole container takes up

It’s crazy to read that when my Unbound has a 3 million host size block-list and uses at less than half that amount of RAM.

I’ll keep that in mind for the next time I need to run a DNS server on a Pentium II system

Does this block the sds itself or do I need additional configs?

PiHole blocks ad by using Unbound. Additional configs for what?

Like, when I install uBlock it comes with everything it needs. If I run In round does it block ads out of the box or do I need to point it to some list?
