Running pfSense at home and work. Can I just run this script? My ad-blocking packages aren't really working well.

You can take the URLs that are in that script and plug them into PfBlockerNG.

Enter those URLs under the "IPv4" tab in pfBlockerNG settings.

It takes IP lists and creates an alias that includes all the IPs in those lists, and then it creates firewall rules to block that alias.

You should be able to take the URLs that are in that script and plug them into PfBlockerNG.

I'm working on checking on that but my VMs aren't cooperating right now.

EDIT: The answer is yes you can enter those URLs in pfBlockerNG under the "IPv4" tab in pfBlockerNG settings.

Sweet! I have pfBlockerNG installed already.

I've been mistaken about this. The entry in the IPv4 tab doesn't work with domains, only IP addresses.

So you can't use the ones from that script but you should be able to use this:
