Which is better between these two plugins?

os-kea-ubnd-ddns
os-kea-unbound

I have the first one installed in my new opnsense box until I saw the second one with a more recent release. The first one has more settings too.

I would suggest the business edition with our core integration of such a feature, which will also give you peace of mind because it's maintained directly by Deciso:

You could just simply run your own PowerDNS or BIND instance instead of using those plug-ins.

But yeah : The Business Edition of OPNsense should be the "It just works!" solution :)
Weird guy who likes everything Linux and *BSD on PC/Laptop/Tablet/Mobile and funny little ARM based boards :)

But this firewall is for home use so paying for the business edition is not something that I would want to consider. What's wrong with those plugins anyway?

For home use I would have expected dnsmasq:
