ubound cache not ticking up

I installed the current Unbound with the B2 version of Merlin for AX88U Pro. The cache hits counter never moves. I installed NTPMerlin however no luck. I am also running Skynet and Ad Guard Home. I uninstalled Unbound, rebooted and reinstalled it with no luck. I used it on my old router with no messing around at all, it was smooth. Did I miss something?

thanks
 
With AdGuardHome installed, is Unbound getting any action? Run:
Code:
unbound-control stats_noreset
 
Here are the results.
Unbound is running, but no queries are being sent to it. Where is AGH sending queries upstream?
I asked a similar question in your earlier thread.
 
Why AGH and unbound together?

It makes sense for some users when AdGuard Home is using Unbound as Resolver. AdGuard Home is DNS-based blocker, Unbound is DNS server. It doesn't make sense when Unbound is set as Forwarder.

So upstream server is set to local Unbound? Hm, how's the performance here?
Maybe I will try it.

Yes. The performance - very slow for everything not cached. You also have to accept the fact root servers don't support encryption. There is privacy mechanism in Unbound though. Try it, but don't be surprised to see >500ms resolution time. Make sure you save the cache on reboot. Not needed for home setup in my opinion.
 
I fed my unbound-control stats_noreset output into GPT and got the following evaluation: :)

Ya sorry. I get mixed up and forget things easily. Just crap in life to deal with.

Anyway the upstream in AGH is:
223.5.5.5:53
9.9.9.9
149.112.112.112
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
h3://1.1.1.1/dns-query
h3://unfiltered.adguard-dns.com/dns-query
h3://94.140.14.140/dns-query
#h3://94.140.14.141/dns-query
h3://dns.nextdns.io/

cobbled together from a few posts I found. Most searches are in the 10ms to 20ms range.

thanks

I set the AHG resolver to 127.0.0.1:5335

Searches are still fast. I will check Unbound stats in the am.
 
I exited unbound to look at ntpMerlin and unbound no longer loads. I get:

unbound [*]lock file detected (easy) (pid=8631) - Exiting (cpid=27548)
Yet is sill still running on the backend. I had an ssh session going.

wow, I hesitate to ask what next.

Be sure that unbound is not running - via top or htop. Then look to /opt/var/run if there exist file unbound.pid. If yes then delete.
This should help to fix this issue.

I set this up and looks fine. Possibly I will keep this setup.
