# 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.
