I made a guide for setting up a Pi-hole with Unbound DNS resolver. I tried to include everything you need to start from scratch.

thanks for this...i've been a lil remiss in auditing my list subs...need to refresh
@opie
Same here. I have a few lists that are no longer maintained because they load 0 domains when I update, but it scrolls by too fast to read. I was just going to post in the /pihole subreddit to ask if there is a way to generate a log for this so I can identify and remove them.
yeah, I actually used to pay for a list and they went outta business...and 90% of my blocks come from the steven black list
@opie
If you want a good replacement for that, this is where must of mine come from:
I use oisd as well, it's just checked after sblack...gets very few hits...not zero...but <10%
@opie
A very cool feature was added to the latest Pi-hole update which solves my issue with dead lists. The web interface now has an automatic health check for your lists, and marks the dead ones! Easy peasy.
If you want to go beyond the default blocklists, I recommend starting with the green lists on https://firebog.net/ and adding the appropriate blue lists under Tracking & Telemetry.
If you add these additional lists, be sure to follow the links under Whitelisting Suggestions.
