Hello
Though the issue has been dealt with to a certain extent in other threads (see Unbound Unbound DNS VPN Client w/policy rules) I found the discussions there quite specific and beyond my technical abilities.

I have been - happily - using unbound as DNS resolver for all devices on my network.
I am also using rules-based VPN routing for a couple of clients (geoloc bypass).
I recently updated to RMerlin 386.2 and also updated unbound and Diversion.
Around the time of the update I noticed that the two devices on the tunnel (Apple tvs) where returning errors of failed connection (TLS handshakes).
Out of ignorance, I thought this may be a DNS issue, which leads me to ask you cognoscenti the following:

Is there a set of dum-proof settings one should consider when using Unbound in conjunction with Policy based VPN routing?

I believe any VPN DNS topic is addressed by the .ovpn config file, but don't know whether that could conflict with having Unbound as a default resolver.
From the screenshots provided in other threads, Unbound appears to offer some VPN tweaks (in the 'advanced' config sections, those I usually avoid).
I asked the VPN provider about DNS server but they were not forthcoming.

Any help, hint, or qualified RTFM will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
