Running multiple Pi-hole servers has always been a challenge, until now. In this video, I’ll show you a tool called Nebula Sync that helps keep them in sync, making DNS and blocklist management much easier. I’ll walk through how it works, how to set it up, how to choose the right settings, and why it might be useful for your network.

Another awesome video Tim. Easy enough to adopt for Portainer, which I find a lot easier to work with than firing things up in the shell. Do you find that some of the block lists you have on your list go away? Examples:

[i] Target: https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Shalla-mal.txt
[✗] Status: Not found
[✗] List download failed: no cached list available

[i] Target: https://zerodot1.gitlab.io/CoinBlockerLists/hosts_browser
[✗] Status: Forbidden
[✗] List download failed: no cached list available

Thank you, yes, some of them have. I usually give them a few weeks before I remove them. I also check firebog to see if they've been renamed.

Thanks! Good advice, as always from you.

Thx for your work.
Here just a short script to mass add your blocklist in the pihole shell:

#!/bin/bash
