        Live Reload will only help during cron update, it won't help when unbound start at reboot.
        Increase Widget Query to 120 or 360 sec.

        Use Status Monitoring System Memory to track memory usage.

        How many DNSBL entries do you use ?
        Start with only a few URLs, then increase until unbound start under a 15 seconds.

            So that's a 4GB memory system, cut the DNSBL entries by half
            My box handle 1.1MB entries with 8GB memory. It takes around 30 seconds to reload.

            However I have experience issues with Unbound freezing (needed kill -9) when Applying setttings after saving Resolver Settings.

              I my setup would you enable TLD or not?

                TLD will slow down Cron update but will shrink the size of the DNSBL db
                Live Reload seems to fail without TLD 😖

                  @BBcan177 logged in here (Teamviewer) yesterday, maybe he can come up with something.
