Good morning everyone, I wanted to know if the nethsecurity development team intends to introduce pi-hole into the project in the future.
Thanks.

I did it for ns8 if you are looking for something close you have known in NS7

You can do almost the same with Threat shield IP and DNS: just select the ADs lists.
Sadly you are not going to have any report.
I’m not that one who has the final word, but I’m pretty sure that we are not going to integrate whole Pi-hole into NethSecurity (they are 2 different beasts)

thanks for sharing
meaning too many differences as software?
PI-Hole delivers Unbound and a DHCP server, so could fit as role into NethSecurity, at least as network design and cpu-grunt requirements… You’re alreading delivering content filtering (DNS based too ).
There’s no way that pihole will fit into NethSec as it is now. If you want the feature of pihole you could just add additional lists to ThreatShield DNS and it will do the same work
However, you can still use PiHole. If you have an active installation of PiHole (with whatever you want, it’s available for NS8 too) you could just point the DNS of the firewall to that, then you can then leave all the DNS resolution to PiHole and NethSec just uses that as it’s primary DNS

exactly how it works
dhcp → ns8 or nethsec
dns → set in the dhcp the external ip of the server where pihole is running
