When I view traffic in reporting I see 192.168.6.120 making a connection to Amazon.com among other sites. But, 192.168.6.120 is not listed as a lease in Unbound. So, where is this address assigned from and who is it?

I do not trusted the leases page. Use a system on your network (192.168.6.x) to ping that ip. Or try to eliminate the other devices. I am not sure we can help.
Ping results in 100% packet loss. This address may be related to some virtual machines I setup on my Debian linux box. I bridged the ethernet adapter.
I will keep digging.
I used a WiFi sniffer on my phone to discover the MAC address, which corresponded to the ip address of an Alexa. But, Alexa is on the IOT network, not the LAN.
Are you sure this is your Alexa? Amazon devices are sharing your wifi w/ your neighbors starting almost a year ago. My daughter has a Echo & I was seeing unknown mac addresses on my DD Wrt router. After some research I found this out. Turns out my neighbor bought new Ring doorbells which were using my wifi resources. I blocked them which you'll need to do to keep them off your network. Program is called Amazon Sidewalk.

My closest neighbor is nearly 1,000 feet away so it's unlikely to be her. I believe when I use the app on my phone it is changing the connection on the Alexa Echo device. I'm not sure how that happens but it's the only thing I can figure out.
I'm going to not use the phone app and see if that stops the mystery connection.
Hi all,
I just got the same problem. Unknown IP and it was not listed in the DHCP. Could not ping it etc. I didn't get any info from WireShark. When I switched my Google Nest to my IOT network it was still trying to connect to the old network while the Nest itself got a lease from the OPNsense.
Its always trying to connect to: 18.210.25.50:9543 AmazonAWS.
I suspect its coming from the Alexa integration; https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9325080?hl=en
Will do more investigation on this later.
For me this is the reason why every IOT device needs to be in a seperate LAN. Hope this can help others too.
