Dears,
In the process of upgrading my Netgate 2100 appliance to 25.07, the following error message was shown. Is this important and warrant further attention? Thanks for your reply.

Use python mode in unbound.

@w0w said in kea2unbound is using too much memory in the process of upgrading to 25.07:

Use python mode in unbound.

That seems happens more often these days : people still use "Unbound mode". I tend to say that that is the "legacy mode" and should be kept if everything else fails (?).
The real issue is probably : It was set ones to "Unbound mode" (the default) and when Python mode was created (added), they didn't thought about opt-in into that mode.

pfBlockerng states it clear enough inn the GUI that it would do 'way better / faster / cooler' with Python mode.
Still, "Unbound mode" is selected for ..... "some reason".
