Description
Hello this is fantastic guide very concise and easy to follow, and wow made a huge difference in my unbound setup. I'm using Slackware on a small x86_64 firewall/privoxy/dns box the guide sorted a number of setup/performance issues I had.
"# Ensure privacy of local IP ranges" correct listing of ip ranges here fixed wifi devices connected to my cable modem being able to use unbound.
The harden and performance settings really locked down and lowered dns resolve time.
I had seen a lot of the options on other sites but on analysis there settings were use full for a server farms not a small home/office network of 20 devices or less.
num-threads: was even set to 4 via build script, which I have known shown actually degrades performance on my setup. Even though the host box is a 4 core x86_64 amd chip with 16gig ram. My querier times are under half of my old unbounnd.conf settings.
I am know in discussion with maintainer of the slackbuild to add and change some of the default settings in the included .conf file. To use the options from this guide as a base for users to go from.
Thank you very much for writing/sharing this guide.
