Do you have query logging enabled in Unbound?

I'll second this!

I've done quite a bit of testing, moving from Adguardhome to unbound and its BL's. Even using the same BL's with the URL's added to unbound make them identical, I'm still getting AD's coming through when using unbound, that I don't when using Adguardhome.
A restart of Opnsense also doesn't appear to make any difference, local client dns cache and browser cache clears as well as rebooted the client.

I'll give it a second go after the next upgrade

It does not even matter, AFAIK. I had 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps SFP+ modules running in an Intel X520-DAx with no problem.

The SFP+ module reports at 10 Gbps to the host, whilst happily doing 2.5 GBps on the line. The only thing is that you cannot control the line speed, it is always auto-negotiated.

Your observations are mostly correct, however, note that there are needed tunables for Intel N-type and Alder Lake / Twin Lake series CPUs as noted here, point 23.

The ill effects of the CPU idiosyncrasies become more visible with UFS than with ZFS. To fix this completely, apply the tuneables, install microcode updates AND use ZFS.

Thank you, I compiled and copied it over to a OPNsense instance. It's much easier now the scrolling and 'ip (4|6)' filtering. And the filter expression can be modified.

The filtering is remarkable fast. I run one of the OPNsense instances on a VM with 2 CPUs/4GB RAM on Proxmox. The filter file from yesterday has around 102'000 entries.

It takes around 7 seconds to start up with the filter file and filtering for 'ip 4' which results in 87'000 items is instant, execellent.

Edit: it takes around 7 seconds if started from the VM console. Running it from a SSH session, it only takes about 1.5 to 3 seconds to start.

Yes, obviously, as evidenced by the fact that you cannot stream any videos or login on youtube.

Would should anyone make of this?

Anything more specific? Did you upgrade before things went awry? Did it work before? Do other sites work?

Sizing in logger.py increase from 323 Mb to 1914Mb, is this normal?

Any recomandation?.

It´s increasing my memory usage too

Hi,
nee ich habe es mit mehreren Browsern versucht. Chrome, Firefox und Edge. Wie gesagt vor kurzem haben alle funktioniert. Und wie gesagt, ich kann auch ausschließen, dass es an meinem Skin flexcolor liegt. Mit dem ging es noch vor kurzem und ich habe es auch mit dem original OPNsense Skin versucht. Das Problem bleibt.
Ich vermute auch eher, dass ich etwas verstellt habe.
Müsste jetzt im Notfall wieder zu einer älteren Sicherung zurück und versuchen, ob es damit wieder geht. Ich denke, seit der Sicherung habe ich aber noch anderes geändert, was ich nicht mehr zusammen bekomme.
Da haben wir wieder das übliche User-Problem, dass man immer genau die Sicherung
vergessen hat, die man hinterher benötigt.😄
Da fällt mir ein, ich könnte natürlich eine aktuelle Sicherung machen und diese mit einer älteren vergleichen.
