VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.6.2 -Aug 24, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

[routytout]

Happy to announce the next version of VPNMON-R3 v1.6.0! Super excited to offer "Unbound over Wireguard" with many thanks to @ZebMcKayhan for his awesome guidance and incredible expertise on the subject! I truly appreciate your contributions to this! Also, huge thanks to all of you beta testers! Wouldn't have gotten this far without you - thank you @CaptainSTX , @fourty6and2 , @iTyPsIDg , @Stephen Harrington, and @ZebMcKayhan (and anyone else I may have forgotten)!

Thanks everyone who made Unbound over Wireguard possible. What I'm unsure of is compatibility with VPN providers. I understand that Unbound integration stopped working for NordVPN and that it should work with other VPN providers, although only AirVPN is mentioned by name.

Has anyone had success with anything other than AirVPN? I got it working with AirVPN but Mullvad VPN doesn't seem to work the minute I turn it on, at least over Wireguard, I haven't tried OpenVPN yet. I like AirVPN's approach but speeds are quite disappointing. Speedtests tend to be great but github downloads for instance can be 1MB/s while Mullvad is 10 times that. You'd almost think some of the servers AirVPN is using are prioritizing speedtests over other traffic. So I would like to try other VPN that would work with Unbound over Wireguard.

Glad to hear you are using Unbound over VPN/WG!Both AirVPN and ProtonVPN worked fine for me on both OVPN and WG. Haven't tried Nord for some time now. Their support was clueless and just kept giving me the runaround on when a fix was coming. I don't think they had any incentive to fix.

I was just in the process of trying out ProtonVPN next and yes that does work. Thank you for your quick reply. First impressions are that speeds seem much better than AirVPN. It's too bad because I like AirVPN's approach probably best.

No prob! Yeah, AirVPN can be a bit laggy, but it works great for a standalone Unbound connector. They certainly don't have as many servers as Proton. But nothing beats Nord IMO when it comes to choice of servers and their API implementation. Proton was great, but then they retired their API capabilities... such a shame. I haven't tried Surfshark, PerfectPrivacy or PIA when it comes to WG or automation capabilities... they may have something viable as well.
