tenshi

This utility fetches a curated hosts file, generates Unbound local-data from it, and saves the result in /etc/unbound/local-blocking-data.conf.

At the moment, only Steven Black's hosts file is used. Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts.

This utility is meant to work on Linux. It is untested on Mac, and will probably not work on Windows.

You will want to add include: "local-blocking-data.conf" to your Unbound config to use the result.

This package is available on crates.io at https://crates.io/crates/tenshi, and the Arch User Respository at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tenshi-rs.
