Part of the Furniture
- For a home router, this is pointless
- These waste memory on unused features
- Many of these are advanced performance tuning options meant for high-traffic public resolvers
- Most have undocumented or unclear effects on embedded systems
- Some values are aggressive
- Others conflict with the philosophy of a conservative router config
- Unnecessary complexity for home router
For those 14K viewers of this thread watching while eating their popcorn from their armchairs, I think these points pretty much sum the contents of these configs posted in this thread.
At least we have AI proof of total nonsense in addition to HI. This sentence is spot on:
- Don't add dozens of advanced parameters without understanding each one
Say what you will about using AI when it comes to analyzing settings and determining the outcome of the effects of changing these settings, but I think it's a perfect use-case.
I think what would be more useful in this case is starting a thread that can recommend some generally-used conservative tweaks based on the the vanilla config that would actually improve security and performance for unbound and our routers in general, instead of this "Unbound for Gaming" mumbo-jumbo garbage.
