Hey folks - I have been using Diversion and Skynet at home for a while on my RT-AC88U (3-node AiMesh setup Merlin 386.13) - and it's been performing well enough. Recently, I have had some ISP outages/latency that cause some problems with home automation and was hoping that Unbound might solve for some of those issues. As such, I installed unbound and am trying it out. A couple things I noticed- even "less" ad's showing up in my user experience and faster internet surfing - which is great. Some problems, I noticed that almost every email on Apple devices have this "cannot download content privately due to your network settings" error that can be solved for by simply tapping "download content". Found a couple posts on whitelisting icloud.com - but not sure I did it correctly as the issue persists. The bigger issue is that some websites (for example medical claims) have issues rendering drop down menus showing a "network error" in the drop down preventing online forms from being processed. My users are having serious heartburn over this security add-on.
So here is my question: What should I configure or deconfigure with unbound to help solve for some of the user experience? THere are many posts saying "use diversion for ad blocking and use unbound as resolver only" - but i am not exactly sure how to configure that. Can someone confirm what should or should not be configured with unbound? NOTE - when I uninstall unbound, the user experience is better for those who are complaining. How should I best configure unbound to "play nice" in my environment? For example - should I enable/disable options 5/7/8 in the UNBOUND menu to achieve my desired result? I like the idea of YouTube ad blocker - but it's a nice to have, not a requirement.
Thanks in advance for any help - I only know enough about this stuff to be dangerous and could use some guidance. Attached is my screenshot of what is showing for unbound on my router for reference.
