Title: Knot resolver instead of unbound.
Post by: wanttotree on January 28, 2020, 09:40:50 am

Hi guys, unbound is awesome and fast when it cached the website i always go to. But for websites i rarely go or just click on links that i never visit, the response is kinda slow. So i went and look for another alternative and i found a great one. Its knot resolver and it has similar cached speed as unbound but where it shines is the uncached performance. Its so much faster, i know we are talking a few milliseconds, but in real life experience it feels significant. Im wondering if opnsense will ever include it as default dns resolver, just curious if that ever gonna happen. Not trying to bash unbound, i just felt knot resolver could improve the experience.

I dont want to be too pessimistic but I believe noone will do the work as the performance right now is acceptable and there's also BIND and dnscrypt (ok no alternative compared in speed) available.
