QQ: If I use Unbound exclusively (bypass dnsmasq), is it safe/recommended to change the following from Tools>Other Settings to YES?

Wan: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver (default: No)

Looks like that would ensure ALL DNS requests are processed by Unbound. Am I correct in this line of thinking?

Any impacts to be aware of?
No this is not a good idea..... Unbound will only come up once entware starts and the router needs to resolve DNS requests prior to that..... this is only for the router itself and not for clients.

Thanks man! I always seem to forget that -- smdh!

What's the purpose to use Unbound exclusively (bypass dnsmasq)?

For me I use it to allow for better reporting. Now I can see which client is making the DNS request, and that shows up in the Unbound GUI tab.

Only other reason is because it is one less item in the chain to getting a DNS request, but to be honest, it likely isn't a big deal.
 
Can you check
Code:
grep -A1 "port=0" /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add /etc/dnsmasq.conf
also 'unbound.conf' is incorrect
Code:
##@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
port: 53                                 # v1.08 If 53 (Requires 'port=0' in '/etc/dnsmasq.conf') to answer queries direct from LAN clients

#interface: 0.0.0.0

#access-control: 0.0.0.0/0 allow      <<=== this should match the subnet for the 'interface: 192.168.2.1 above i.e. 192.168.1.0/24
When bypassing dnsmasq, 'unbound_manager' should use
Code:
nvram get lan_ipaddr_rt
in the unbound configuration.

EDIT: I've uploaded a Hotfix v3.11Beta 2 to correct 192.168.2.1-->192.168.2.240 ??

Hi Martineau

Its working with latest 3.11b3 !! That is Unbound is starting Thanks heaps. The only issue is when I run debug and it gives message saying that Address already in use for 192.168.2.240 port 53. ( but its in use by Unbound). And if I comment out #interface:192.168.2.240 debug gives Address already in use for 127.0.0.1 port 53. ( again in use by Unbound already) .
BUT Unbound IS up and alive and dnsmasq IS being bypassed !


Code:
port=0                           # unbound_manager
dhcp-option=lan,6,192.168.2.240      # unbound_manager

For me I use it to allow for better reporting. Now I can see which client is making the DNS request, and that shows up in the Unbound GUI tab.

Only other reason is because it is one less item in the chain to getting a DNS request, but to be honest, it likely isn't a big deal.

Along with the unbound thread where it might be bringing native DoT to life, and therefore you can also bypass Cloudflare for DoT requests, and thus better privacy as all requests can now be fulfilled by your local unbound recursive server :)
 
nvram get custom_clientlist AC86U client HOSTNAME and MAC pair (and other data in number)
nvram get dhcp_staticlist only client MAC and IP
nvram get dhcp_hostnames full empty
 
I've uploaded v3.11 unbound.conf v1.10

Version=3.11
Github md5=a52ec854a6e06e3e8f2383065f6fc236

use 'u' to update when prompted on screen
EDIT: If upgrading from v3.11betaX, you will need to force the upgrade using 'uf'

EDIT2: Due to a typo with the cron schedule for the YouTube Video Ad Blocking, all users should reset the Ad Blocking if currently implemented
Code:
e  = Exit Script [?]

A:Option ==> youtube uninstall
Code:
e  = Exit Script [?]

A:Option ==> adblock uninstall
then reinstall as required
Code:
e  = Exit Script [?]

A:Option ==> adblock
Code:
e  = Exit Script [?]

A:Option ==> youtube

Use of the 'i = Update unbound Installation' ** optional ** see changelog

Code:
FIX:    'unbound.conf' contains incorrect CIDRs
             access-control: 172.16.0.0/12  allow        # v1.10 Martineau  Fix CIDR 16->12
             access-control: 192.168.0.0/16 allow        # v1.10 @dave14305 Fix CIDR 24->16
FIX:    Bypass dnsmasq incorrectly assumes '.1' is ALWAYS the last octet for the router e.g. '192.168.0.1' - @joe scian
FIX:    Bypass dnsmasq wasn't retained over reboot.
FIX:    Bypass dnsmasq when migrating dnsmasq localhosts to unbound, now ignores invalid IP's with no host name - @glehel
CHANGE: Include LISTEN sockets display when using 'debug', and warn if unbound is already UP
CHANGE: Bypass dnsmasq may incorrectly detect Diversion during Diversion/Ad Block switch - @tomsk
CHANGE: YouTube Ad block was installed/removed as part of the Ad Block feature. - now it is a separate Option
        and is now displayed in status '?'
[✔] unbound Logging
[✔] Ad and Tracker Blocking (No. of Adblock domains=63966,Blocked Hosts=0,Whitelist=19)

Thanks to @juched, @tomsk, @joe scian and @glehel for testing / feedback

I don't understand, when should I use "i"? (instead of "u")?

Read the prompt description?

'Easy' menu mode
Code:
1  = Update unbound files and configuration
or 'Advanced' menu mode
Code:
i  = Update unbound and configuration ('/opt/var/lib/unbound/')
either of the above invoked will update/overwrite the existing unbound configuration files including Entware packages/libraries.

NOTE: For 'Advanced' menu users, it is now possible to simply update/retrieve certain files, rather than (tediously) go thru' the complete file refresh (saves 50-90 seconds?)

Option 'u' will only be displayed onscreen when there is a new version of the 'unbound_manager' script available.
Code:
u  = Update (Major) unbound_manager v3.09 -> v3.11
     or
u  = Update (Minor Hofix) unbound_manager v3.11 -> v3.11
if invoked will update 'unbound_manager.sh' ONLY (for bug fixes/new features) without impacting any executing instance of unbound

Does dnsmasq disable survive a reboot? I thought I read you saying at one point it didn’t, but from what I see I think it should.

Is it reapplied if you use the “i” command in the future? Or does it work like the scribe command where you need to apply it again?

Thank you! Great release. Does this mean I should move the YT Adblock to master branch?

its survived through 4 reboots so far for me ... but i have a fairly vanilla setup ( no VPN etc)

Yes 'unbound_manager' v3.11 should allow the bypass dnsmasq to be retained over a reboot.

There was some concern over the 'Use local caching DNS server as system resolver' setting:

[✔] Swapfile=1048572 kB
[✔] DNS Filter=ON
[✔] DNS Filter=ROUTER
[✖] Warning WAN: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver=YES see http://xxx.xxx.xxx.1:80/Tools_OtherSettings.asp ->Advanced Tweaks and Hacks
[✔] Entware NTP server is running
[✔] Enable DNS Rebind protection=NO
[✔] Enable DNSSEC support=NO

but I have always run with this set to 'YES' and bypass dnsmasq has always survived a reboot.

It is indeed like the 'scribe' command etc, so is never an initial install option and must be reapplied if it is manually removed.

Entirely up to you.....it's your (support) choice! ;)

Local caching DNS server will be dnsmasq initially wont it?... you look for the presence of the unbound pid in the unbound.postconf which wont exist until entware starts it up.

Yes as one would expect.
... you look for the presence of the unbound pid in the unbound.postconf which wont exist until entware starts it up.
Correct! ...and if you attentively read my code.....

Q. What happens if unbound isn't UP when 'unbound.postconf' executes?:cool:

EDIT: Answer: Syslog during the boot pocess..

Coming from 3.11b3, the update didn't seem to want to get rid of the b3 and hash didn't match. I ended up removing and reloading, though dnsmasq needed to be enabled and then disabled following the reload for clients to resolve DNS.

Since a greenfield reload of things a week ago, I didn't install Diversion, relying on the unbound AD-block, though notice an erroneous grep notice on a clean install

        About unbound: https://nlnetlabs.nl/projects/unbound/about/

        SNB Forums unbound support: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/unbound-authoritative-recursive-caching-dns-server.58967/

Aside from that, everything is working well with 3.11 and without dnsmasq, it's great seeing client IPs.

I'm still seeing the ISP when performing a DNS Leak test, though cache hit from unbound is over 90%; is there a configuration needed that will eliminate that status since unbound resolves directly to root DNS directly?
 
The upgrade from 3.11b3 to 3.11 didn't show matching md5 checks. I did an 'uf' and now everything looks well with the exception of the 'grep' line mentioned by @penguin22. I do not have Diversion installed.
