General Discussion / Re: Really slow Updates/Firmware
« on: June 12, 2023, 11:24:34 am »I have Adguard on OPNSense and also had this issue.
To fix this, I set the DNS to a public resolver (Cloudflare) on System-->Settings-->General as suggested. However, that doesn't actually work unless you also check the box on the same page "Do not use the local DNS service as a nameserver for this system".
This solved the issue here too, but it is more of a workaround than a solution. The root cause for slow backups was an activated Unbound DNS service where no forwarding was enabled. I assume that this caused Unbound to use the root DNS servers, which explains the painfully slow update process.
So, a better solution would be to either disable Unbound DNS if not needed, or to check the box Services / Unbound DNS / Query Forwarding / "Use System Nameservers"
