I've uploaded v3.15

Version=3.15
Github md5=9a52be66b295224028ce282f7defd9bf

use 'u' to update when prompted on screen

Use of the 'i = Update unbound Installation' ** not required **

Code:
FIX:     '8 -Install YouTube Video Ad blocker' generates error 'Ad Block' related message if the install is actually ABORTed/declined
ADD::    'dnsmasq disable' bypass dnsmasq now migrates '/etc /hosts' and both 'dnsmasq.conf' 'server=/' and 'address=/' directives
ADD:     'dnsmasq' revert to Primary LAN DNS now reinstates Diversion if available
CHANGE:  'Easy' menu mode now visually separates (by column) optional features and colour codes them to enhance at-a-glance status.
Code:
1  = Update unbound files and configuration                     5  = Uninstall Ad and Tracker blocker (Ad Block)
2  = Remove unbound/unbound_manager                             6  = Uninstall Graphical Statistics GUI Add-on TAB
3  = Stop unbound                                               7  = Enable    DNS Firewall
4  = Show unbound statistics                                    8  = Uninstall YouTube Ad blocker

?  = About Configuration               
v  = View ('/opt/var/lib/unbound/'unbound.conf)
 
e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==>
3.15 runs ok for me but i don't see the address=/use-application-dns.net/ converted to unbound format local-zone: "use-application-dns.net" always_nxdomain in unbound.conf.localhosts ..... should it be there or would it be taken care of by
#include: /opt/var/lib/unbound/adblock/firefox_DOH if it is enabled?

You end up configuring Unbound as a forwarder instead of a recursor. You can do forwarding DoT to public DoT servers, but not recursive DoT to authoritative nameservers.
Ah, ok.
I thought I can use unbound as recursor and DoT.... *sad*

In dave's example above, yes you do send it as it's forwarding and therefore no recursion.

It seems you are in that thread as well (now closed), so we can consolidate, but this was being discussed by dave and co also.

Sidenote from there, DoH coming to unbound: https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/commit/8dae5d9f81a179bdbb5fdcc730df4e8875f85cd2

Also seem you located something in this post: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/u...-caching-dns-server.58967/page-71#post-580717 and that talks about listening on 853 for DoT. Has anyone investigated a configuration using Unbound for DoT, like https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/Using+Unbound+as+a+DNS+Privacy+server

Seems like a Let's Encrypt cert would also work (as per the link)...Depending on how your certificate is issued you may to add the intermediate certificate to your certificate file for clients to be able to validate. For example, if you use Let's encrypt to create your certificate you will need to add the intermediate certificate (found in the /etc/letsencrypt/certs/000<N>_chain.pem file) to the cert file.

Yes, the script will delete duplicates, i.e. the Firefox DoH directive should be there (if Prevent client auto DoH=Auto/Yes in GUI)….if I didn't immediately delete it! :oops::rolleyes:

v3.15 Hotfix commit

Many thanks.

Update: Looks like all this is coming diversion still looking into this

Update (2): So disabled diversion the problems go and NTP will start & unbound_manager starts working

Update (3): Yep its diversion no Idea how to fix

Am back still having ntp problems but the problem today is unbound_manager starts working at the same time its not very odd

Code:
Standard Statistics
 --------------------------------------------------------

 Number of DNS queries: 0
 Number of queries that were successfully answered using cache lookup (ie. cache hit): 0
 Number of queries that needed recursive lookup (ie. cache miss): 0
 Number of queries dropped because request list was full: 0
 Average number of requests in list for recursive processing: 0

 Extended Statistics
 --------------------------------------------------------

 RRset cache usage in bytes: 33048
 Message cache usage in bytes: 33048

 Cache hit success percent: 0

Nice touch..... looks like its been there a few versions of the script but never noticed it before... I tried opting not to install adblock during dnsmasq disable, but then added it separately later ... was just checking to see if the script warned or offered to disable diversion for you.

Code:
    [✔] Ad and Tracker Blocking (No. of Adblock domains=82611,Blocked Hosts=0,Whitelist=19, - Warning Diversion is also ACTIVE)

Not sure of the reason you have posted in this thread?

Your edited post previously contained excerpts from the 'unbound.log' that clearly showed the 5 successful unbound start-up messages with correct timestamps.

Basically, during the boot process, 'S61unbound' simply waits on the NTPD spinlock semaphore, which evidently eventually allows unbound to initialise.

EDIT: Ah I see you have withdrawn your tenuous accusation!:)
 
Sorry: never heard of it.
I keep reading this over and over to see if I can detect sarcasm. o_O

Video below for those interested and to make it related to forum, play it on youtube and see if it blocks ads. ;)

(Someone had to do it. Glad it wasn’t me. )
Have had the pleasure of working with half of the Ladies. They’re good folk.

Now put down the Dijon ketchup and get back to coding?

I'm trying to test "VPN show debug" and I keep seeing the message below (***ERROR Invalid argument 'show' VPN must be numeric '1-5' or 'disable') , any ideas what might be happening:


A:Option ==> vpn 1 debug

Do you want to route unbound requests through VPN Client '1' tunnel?
Reply 'y' or press [Enter] to skip
y

yes totally normal
unbound requests via VPN Client 1 (10.14.15.6) tunnel ENABLED
 
I noticed there was some activity in the Diversion thread regarding use of the alternate blocklist and the methodology to do this was to start a 2nd dnsmasq instance ..... i'm not sure how many ppl actually take advantage of this but wouldn't unbound need to be configured to listen to that too ( and presumably modify its related .conf file ?)

Sounds like a good use of resources, but as I don't run Diversion you will need to submit a pull-request if you want to allow 'unbound_manager' to accommodate the scenario.
