    Unbound Making Unbound into a DoT/DoH (rather than plain dns) for clients

    Could anyone please assist in modifying the unbound.conf file to enable DoT/DoH for downstream clients? I am guessing, the lines I need to add are something like the following: interface: 127.0.0.1@853 tls-service-key: "path/to/privatekeyfile.key" tls-service-pem: "path/to/publiccertfile.pem"...

    CPU one always at 100%

    Hi, I have the AX88U and from a long time i watch that the cpu number one always runs at 100%. Recently, I upgraded to the version 384.17 of Asuswrt-Merlin and have the same problem.
