Forgive me my ignorance, but who can clarify for me why there are more interfaces mentioned in some dropdown boxes than that actual Assigned interfaces are defined?
I have three interfaces defined in Interfaces:Assignments:
1) LAN
2) OpenVPN interface (ovpnc2)
3) WAN
Under Unbound outbound interfaces there are 5:
a) LAN (same as 1 above)
b) VPN Client (same as 2 above)
c) WAN (same as 3 above)
d) OpenVPN server (new, due to remote access configuration (not under 1,2,3 above)
e) OpenVPN client (question: same as b and 2????)
What would be the difference between the interfaces b) and e)? Is there any difference in functionallity?

Unbound can give DNS to OpenVPN-attached clients directly. It was an older feature that was half-working, but it was popular enough that now on 19.1.x it works as expected in all cases no matter if OpenVPN is assigned as an interface or not.
Cheers,

Hi @Franco,
Thanks for the response. Good to know that function wise it is not a problem. From uniformity point of view, I think this could be improved. Especially since under NAT>Outbound yet again other interface naming is being used.
Would you mind if I log an improvement log on the Github for this?
