GL.iNet Flint 2 - Installing Unbound and running AGH

Gary_Dexter · Oct 8, 2024

I am looking to potentially stop using my Rapsberry Pi and install and run Unbound and AdGuard Home on a Flint 2 router (that I am yet to purchase) to replace an aging GT-AC2900.

I’m not too familiar with OpenWRT - how easy is it to install and configure Unbound on this router?

What is the performance like with Unbound and AGH running in the router directly compared to running on an RPi?

I just flashed OpenWrt 23.05.5 on my MT6000 and started using it as my sole router (used to be an AP running stock behind an x86 router). I don’t run Unbound or AGH, but there is plenty of headroom to run both.

Installation would be as simple as (much like Entware):

Code:

opkg update
opkg install luci-app-unbound adguardhome

Unbound can be configured via GUI, but also an extensive README:

packages/net/unbound/files/README.md at master · openwrt/packages

Community maintained packages for OpenWrt. Documentation for submitting pull requests is in CONTRIBUTING.md - openwrt/packages

github.com

Alternatively, the stock GL-INET firmware contains AGH already if you don’t want to flash vanilla OpenWrt. It also allows installation of Unbound through its own repository.

Loving this router so much, I’ll be passing my AX88U Pro to my son. Don’t need it anymore.
