unbound

I have a RT-AX88U running the latest Merlin. I have the router configured to connect to ProtonVPN and route traffic to it with the VPN Director. I have a PiHole that the router forces all DNS request to go to, and the PiHole, uses Unbound for most things, but will direct Netflix related domains...

Hello guys, got a question related to unbound (installed on AX86U) , specifically to the unbound GUI, what is the purpose of DNS firewall (what should be reflected there in case it contains something) and why it is completely empty in my case. Thanks for your inputs

Hi. I am using Unbound addon in my home network. From some time I observed github.com does not open, also pings are lost. Invetsigating this issue I found the website opens OK when using VPN. I have contacted my provider and he told me he can open github.com without any issues. Further...

Is there a beginner's guide to how to properly setup Pi-hole (and Unbound) to work with Merlin? I found this thread (ASUS RT-AC68U - The correct way to configure DNS for Pi-Hole (standalone device) | SmallNetBuilder Forums (snbforums.com)) but it was a little confusing, as there were different...

Hey guys, I am having a continual internet speed drop after I reboot the router. I was doing some checking and then I realized that this trending drop is following the increase of the Cache Hit % (unbound). Please see below the graph: Has anyone seen this behavior before? Is there anything I...

Hi all, I'm new here and, as you will discern from this post, new to networking as a whole. I would be grateful for any general advice or input around my setup. I have some specific questions that are down to knowledge gaps and understanding. The main aim of this setup is to increase security...

Hi, Which one is better as Performance and Security?; 1) Using VPN connections DNS Server by setting DNS Exclusive at VPN clients settings page (Accept DNS Configuration). 2) Using installed unbound_manager by setting DNS Relaxed/Disabled at VPN clients setting page. Also little...

What do you run on your router? Unbound or DNSCrypt? (or both?) It would also be good to know why you use/ recommend one over the other? I am aware that some people run DNSCrypt, Unbound or both on Raspberry Pi along with Pi-Hole. Would also like to have feedback from such users on the same...

Query on WAN DNS Server vs LAN DNS Server. I have tried searching the forums but could not get a clear answer; hence asking it here. This is my first ASUS router; hence maybe a NOOB question. My setup: VDSL Modem - for connection to Broadband ISP ASUS RT-AX88U - as router (192.168.1.1)...

My RT-AX88U is using up a lot of RAM ... Is there a way to see what is using up the RAM the most? I'm using Diversion, Skeynet, Unbound, OpenVPN clients, and uiDivstats. I'm curious to know which service is chewing up the RAM the most.

Today I installed Unbound, and enabled IPv6 in my RT-AX88U after installing Merlin 384.15_beta1 1. From a Networking App on my iMac I keep receiving warnings that "DNS resolution is not working" 2. On ipleak.net I see this: 3. Only very few web pages will load, for example Google.com I'm...

Unbound is a validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver. It is designed to be fast and lean and incorporates modern features based on open standards. Late 2019, Unbound has been rigorously audited, which means that the code base is more resilient than ever. To help increase online privacy...
