      When using unbound I see page load times as high as 10-15 secs.

      When using the built it DNS Forwarder, it loads instantly….

      Any guesses to why this happens??

        What does Diagnostics -> DNS Lookup test show for your various DNS servers?

            You seem to have a DNS server configured on 194.239.10.172 which is not responding. Could that reflect responsiveness of local unbound server?

            A have configured my unbound in forward mode to my internal DNS and lookup speed is 26 msec

              Changed to no repliant DNS server and speed has improved.

              Thx for the advise!
