Do you have query logging enabled in Unbound? Probably better don't. Unbound is a robust and secure recursive name server but not a scalable filtering solution. If you use large block lists and want to log queries, consider using AdGuard Home for that and Unbound as AGH's upstream.

HTH,

I wondered that was well and double checked I didn't.  Unless it's somewhere else than the advanced tab?

Then check the log for WTH it is that blows up the logger script to this size. Maybe the TV is generating a crap ton of bogus queries? No idea, seriously. My statement about scalability still holds, IMHO. AGH or PiHole perform much better than Unbound because Unbound wasn't designed for really large dynamic filter lists.

I turned off all but Qfeeds blocklist for unbound and turned this off under reporting - settings.   

 I'm forwarding to controld/ nextdns anyways

Thanks for the replies Patrick
