        @Antibiotic that really has nothing to do with browsing or openvpn over udp.. those are queries in unbound waiting in the que.. Unless you have 1000's of clients doing a lot of queries and really a under powered dns that should never be a problem.. You could set it to couple or 3 seconds or so if you wanted.. But I doubt it will ever come into play.

            @Antibiotic nothing very technical but is there a reason you use cloudflare-dns.com as hostnames for 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 instead of one.one.one.one that Cloudflare mentions (and that resolve to the 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1)?

                @Antibiotic Ok, I'm a bit suprised it does work since cloudflare-dns.com does resolve to totally different IPs.

                dig +short cloudflare-dns.com
                104.16.248.249
                104.16.249.249
                

                But nevermind, perfect if it works.

                  m a bit suprised it does work since cloudflare-dns.com does resolve to totally different IPs.

                  it really shouldn't because what should happen when you forward over tls is you should validate the server your talking to responds with the correct cn/san in the cert.. A sane client should complain.. Part of the whole dot thing is validation your talking to who you expect to be talking too.

                  If your just forwarding it wouldn't matter, but using dot it should matter

                  edit: example of dot query doing tls validation

                  Here is simple example where it passes

                  $ doggo.exe @tls://192.168.2.253 nas.home.arpa --tls-hostname=doh.home.arpa
                  NAME            TYPE    CLASS   TTL     ADDRESS         NAMESERVER
                  nas.home.arpa.  A       IN      3600s   192.168.9.10    192.168.2.253:853
                  

                  Here is example where it fails

                   doggo.exe @tls://192.168.2.253 nas.home.arpa --tls-hostname=server.com
                  time=2024-11-04T07:23:30.002-06:00 level=ERROR msg="error in lookup" error="tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate is valid for doh.home.arpa, not server.com"
                  NAME    TYPE    CLASS   TTL     ADDRESS NAMESERVER
                  

                  Now a real dot query, should not only validate the cn/san name matches, but that the cert is signed by a CA that the client trusts.

                    @johnpoz So cloudflare-dns.com is correct for DOT or should make one.one.one.one ? Now I'm in doubt)))

                      @Antibiotic 1111 answers back with

                      certificate is valid for cloudflare-dns.com, *.cloudflare-dns.com, one.one.one.one

                      So any of those would validate, if that is actually been checked.. put something in wrong and see if answers. I don't use dot so not sure if unbound is even validating that, or if there is some option you have to enable for it to do it.

                      But using cloudflare-dns.com is returned by the cert when you talk to 1111

                      same goes for 1001

                      edit: I remembered another client I have that can do dot queries. See how it passes with one.one.one.one, but fails with wrong hostname

                      And notice the 146 system certs imported, so with this test the cert has to be trusted as well, not just match on name.. See how it fails because this system doesn't trust my CA.. Let me get it to trust it and do the same test.. I have never installed my local CA on this system, because it never used to access anything I use local certs for.

                          Notice it listed 147 now, since I added my homeca

                          This is how sane client doing dot or doh should function, the cert being used should match cn/san and the CA that signed/issued that cert should be trusted by the system. Off the top I am not sure if when you forward with unbound if either of those is being done.. I am not a fan of doh or dot, I have no actual use case for them.. I resolve.. Only reason I fired up unbond to be able to do doh and dot was as a learning experience.. I have a thread around here somewhere where went over how to let unbound serve up doh to your local network, etc. I don't actually use it.. but I set it up and it works.

                          Normally clients themselves would use doh, dot is more for NS to NS.. while you can click to get dot working with unbound internally, you need to add couple custom options to have it do doh.
