  3. Installation starts. By clicking 'Details' button, you can get more detailed information about installation.

Usage

The installer will set up the service Rbldnsd starting the script /rbldnsd.sh, allowing you for customization according to your needs

#!/bin/bash

# Script to start rbldnsd with desired parameters, check man page for other options
# NB! not all of them are applicable as this is a Windows environment

# address - bind to (listen on) this address (required)
export BINDINFO=127.0.0.1/53

# each zone specified using `name:type:file,file...'
export ZONES=localzone:ip4set:local.zone

# working directory
export WORKDIR=/work

#Start rbldnsd
/bin/rbldnsd -n -f -b $BINDINFO -w $WORKDIR $ZONES

 You need to:

  • update the ip address and port to serve the requests (BINDINFO). The default value is non-functional (connections at 127.0.0.1 on port 53)
  • copy dataset files to be used to the /work folder and configure ZONES parameter. 

There are many other options that can be configured via the script file. Check the man page for options.

You can now start the service and monitor the activity via the log file at /var/log folder.

The service is set up in automatic mode and run by the LOCAL SERVICE Account (limited access).
