      Please look at my previous posts (I know this thread is getting long...)

      FW mode is already enabled in Unbound, and Nord's DNS servers are already set in General Setup. This is leaking. The only thing I found to stop the "leakage" is to change the default gateway

      The way I see it: Client asks for DNS resolution from the VLAN interface > Unbound gets the query > Forwarding mode is enabled, so the request is passed to the DNS servers under System > General Setup which are Nord's DNS servers.

        Who says that it is leaking, a leaking testsite? Would be curious to know about the exact results.

        Also you should create this alias I told you and make more general rules with that instead of doing it on a per port basis.
