zabov

Tiny replacement for piHole DNS filter

Still Work in progress, usable.

Idea is to produce a very simple, no-web-interface , IP DNS blocker.

INSTALL

Zabov requires golang 1.13 or later.

git clone https://git.keinpfusch.net/Loweel/zabov.git
cd zabov
go get
go build -mod=vendor

Then, edit config.json: please notice config.json must be in the same folder of the executable you run.

Just a few words about "singlefilters" and "doublefilters":

Data must be downloaded from URLs of blacklist mantainers.They may come in different formats.

There are two kinds of blacklists:

One is the format zabov calls "singlefilter", where we find a single column , full of domains:

domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com

The second is the format zabov calls "doublefilter" (a file in "/etc/hosts" format, to be precise), where there is an IP, usually localhost or 0.0.0.0 and then the domain:

127.0.0.1 domain1.com
127.0.0.1 domain2.com
127.0.0.1 domain3.com

This is why configuration file has two separated items.

Minimal config file should look like:

{
    "zabov":{
        "port":"53", 
        "proto":"udp", 
        "ipaddr":"0.0.0.0",
        "cachettl": 1,
        "killfilettl": 12,
        "debug:"false"
    },
    "configs":{
        "default":{
            "upstream":"./dns-upstream.txt",
            "singlefilters":"./urls-domains.txt",
            "doublefilters":"./urls-hosts.txt", 
            "blackholeip":"127.0.0.1",
            "hostsfile":"./urls-local.txt",
            "cache":true
        },
    }
}

Global zabov settings:

  • port is the port number. Usually is 53, you can change for docker, if you like
  • proto is the protocol. Choices are "udp", "tcp", "tcp/udp"
  • ipaddr is the port to listen to. Maybe empty, (which will result in listening to 0.0.0.0) to avoid issues with docker.
  • cachettl: amount of time the cache is kept (in hours)
  • killfilettl: refresh time for killfiles
  • debug: if set to "true" Zabov prints verbose logs, such as config selection and single DNS requests

configs:

  • contains multiple zabov configuration dictionaries. "default" configuration name is mandatory
  • upstream: file containing all DNS we want to query : each line in format IP:PORT
  • singlefilters: name of the file for blacklists following the "singlefilter" schema.(one URL per line)
  • doublefilters: name of the file, for blacklists following the "doublefilter" schema.(one URL per line)
  • blackholeip: IP address to return when the IP is banned. This is because you may want to avoid MX issues, mail loops on localhost, or you have a web server running on localhost
  • hostsfile: path where you keep your local blacklistfile : this is in the format "singlefilter", meaning one domain per line, unlike hosts file.
  • cache: if set to false disable the cache for this configuration. Boolean, defaults true

Advanced configuration includes support for multiple configurations based on IP Source and timetables:

Global zabov settings:

  • timetable: sets the global/default timetable. This table will be used for any client that is not already included in an IP group

localresponder:

  • allows to set a local DNS to respond for "local" domains. A domain name is handled as "local" if dosen't contains "." (dots) or if it ends with a well known prefix, such as ".local". Note: the cache is not used for local responder.
  • responder: is the local DNS server address in the IP:PORT format.
  • localdomain: is the suffix for local domain names. All domains ending with this prefix are resolved by local responder

ipaliases: a dictionary of IPs

  • each entry in this dictionary define a domain-alias name and his IP address. It works as replacement of /etc/hosts file.
  • each entry is used by Zabov to resolve that names and to replace any value in the ipgroups.ips array.

timetables: a dictionary of timetable dictionaries

  • allow to define timetables in the format "time-ranges" and "days-of-week"
  • tables: contain an array of dictionaries, each defining a time rule.
    • each table is a dictinary containing "time" and "days" values
    • time: is a string in the form "start:time1-stop:time1;start:time2-stop:time2..."
    • days: is a string containing semicolon separated day names to apply the rule such as "Mo;Tu;We;Th;Fr"
      • days names are: "Mo", "Tu" "We", "Th", "Fr", "Sa", "Su"
      • empty value means all week-days You can define complex time rules using more than one entry in this dictionay
  • cfgin: is the name of the configuration to apply if current time is "inside" the timetable
  • cfgout: is the name of the configuration to apply if current time is "outside" the timetable

ipgroups: an array of ipgroup dictionaries

  • let you define a set of IP addresses that shall use a configuration other than "default"
  • ips: is an array of strings, each containing an ip address or a name defined in the "ipaliases" config branch
  • cfg: is a string containing the name of the configuration to be used for this group; ignored if timetable is also defined
  • timetable: is a string containing the name of the tiemtable to be aplied to this group

DOCKER

Multistage Dockerfiles are provided for AMD64, ARMv7, ARM64V8

NOTE: you shall use TZ env var to change docker image timezone. TZ defaults to CET.
