@dave14305 found that a single 'local-zone' record for pixelserv-tls redirection uses less memory than the original formal 'redirect/local-data' pair of records.

You can see the commented code in my script! (just a few lines below where you found the 'merge' feature) ;)

Just to clarify, local-data alone uses less memory than a local-zone. Your code is correct, but the comment in the code is misquoted. :)
Unbound - Authoritative Recursive Caching DNS Server

Thanks. It is not networking monitoring - both are disabled. And indeed - common generates some traffic when I chose name rather than IP for pings. But that's not what it is. I had DoT DNS to 1.1.1.3 before Unbound indeed. Perhaps Diversion generates something, not Unbound.
In tcpdump anything related to filters does not apear to work. So first one dumps data, but others do not
tcpdump -i eth0 -n
tcpdump -i eth0 -n port 53
tcpdump -i eth0 -n -X icp
tcpdump -i eth0 -n host 1.1.1.3

Started using grep as a workaroung, as I do not know how to investigate broken tcpdump. Perhaps it is router specific if nobdy else has this issue. I will search how to downgrade the version later.

Constant DNS connection appears as to be Network Monitoring indeed inline with @dave14305 suggetion and this article.
https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/exc...s-queries-originating-from-asus-router/3157/2

But I have a flag disabled. Clearly it is a bug as confirmed here also - going to to try this workaround to stop dns probing.

Martineau,
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa !!! :( .....;)

Abject apologies for 'running amok' in your code !!! :)
(Do usually keep quiet about the 'hacks' so as to avoid creating problems for the original authors with 'unsupported software', as you noted :()

It is useful if you are trying to replicate the blocking etc that you have in Diversion.

It does appear to work ..... yes really :eek::eek::D

I am trying to run unbound with the same blocking/whitelist/etc as Diversion, hence the 'unauthorised' hack to activate 'merge'.

I want to contrast 'unbound with Diversion' vs 'Ad-Blocking with unbound ONLY'.

The hidden feature was intended as a one-off migration tool, but please report any useful observations/findings/metrics as a result of your comparison.

P.S. I wouldn't rely on my scripts to teach you anything, apart from untidy/ugly coding practices and brain-dead logic!:cool:

Clearly it should be at zone msedge.net instead of q-msedge.net. Unbound bug or config?

Switching DNS flag still does not disable DNS probe as per conclusion in this thread Network flooded by dns.msftncsi.com requests wrt 384.15 and I have just double checked just now on 384.17.
Instead of nvram what I have jsut done - I put empty string and 0.0.0.0 when the switch was on, applied. And then switched DNS probe off. Does the trick - nothing comes up on tcpdump anymore.

Next investigation for me - why spdMerlin bypasses unbound and goes straight to external recursive DNS. I suspect this is due the flag Wan: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver (default: No and I have No) from Tools / Other Settings.
The real question what will brak if I flick this flag to Yes - for example will Diversion or Unbound end up in endless loop.

And I still need to figure out why not replace Diversion with Unbound ad-blocking.

And another discovery - some Youtube adds do not get blocked by YTblock, no idea why. Just saw an example on the iPhone's Safari.

Lovely Saturday everyone!
 
Thanks - I only just discovered advanced option one hour ago and wonder what dig is for. I must apologise for suspect a bug in unbound, clearly it messed up by Microsoft DNS.

Check that Skynet isn’t blocking any outbound DNS queries for you. I just noticed my ISP DNS 75.75.75.75 is now in the public blocklist. So it’s not unheard of.

unbound doesn't loop here, no idea about Diversion as I don't use it.

The 'dig' command is issued twice, with the second explicitly requesting unbound to reply.

Clearly the first dig command used a third party DNS forwarder....perhaps a DoT/Stubby configuration?

Google says 'pub.3gppnetwork.org' is Telstra (Aussie telco) so obviously I can't dig those sub-domains as presumably they are internal and only available to Telstra subscribers?

So, is my Unbound working correctly then? Just want to make sure I hv not messed anything up! I have AC68 with std config. I have not configured anything for DoT - see attached WAN settings. And my DNSFilter is set to Router.

This is strange as I'm in US and nothing in my system connects to Telstra. Time to investigate! Thanks!

What do you have for
Code: 
cat /etc/resolv.conf
 
klingon888 said:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
Click to expand...
So that explains why 'dig' used '208.67.222.222' as the Primary DNS server rather than unbound.

You will hopefully identify the usual suspects.
