Unbound slow internet navigation after stopping

[Mikii]

Hi. If I stop unbound, my internet connection gets very slow/messy (website stop loading or take a very long time) upon restarting unbound, everything gets back to normal. I tied rebooting both the router and the computer and it does not help.

Do you have any suggestion? is there any configuration options I should check?

Thank you.

Try manually bouncing dnsmasq

service restart_dnsmasq

then use dig or any of the other dnsmasq debugging methods to identify the problem with the troublesome website.

Hi Martineau, thank you for your reply.
I am afraid I am not an expert at all, but, after stopping unbound:
dig works from the router but it times out from the computer.

service restart_dnsmasq

did not help, nor did

dscacheutil -flushcache
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

on the computer (mac) side.

on the computer side, I have both router and DNS servers set to 192.168.1.1

evidently something gets disrupted between the computer and the router. I'll try and investigate a further.

PS: incidentally: How do I switch into unbound advanced from the unbound manager menu?

entering E:Option ==> advanced does not work (only "easy" does).

thank you.

Most invoke unbound_manger in Advanced mode using the command line

Unbound - unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server)

Here is a screenshot of the statistics before. A screenshot of "rs" does not work. And the code and statistics (open spoiler) after the firewall restart. (didn't fit all in one screenshot) Maybe I understand something wrong with cache? Edit: And why are the attached screenshot so small after...

I don't think @juched has copied his script from his GitHub dev area Try e = Exit Script A:Option ==> firewall dev Just merged to master. Enjoy!

NOTE: E:Option ==> advanced xxxx requires a unique 'password' to activate the mode.

Could this be caused by the Entware updates a couple of weeks ago? and Could this be fixed by "stop" then uninstall "Y" (prompt to keep old setting??? Y/N) then reinstall?
