Are there any plans to implement a recursive DNS server like Unbound directly in the GLui?
Or can we make a feature request for this?
Hi
We currently have no plans to support recursive DNS.
Thank you for your suggestion.
We’ll log this request and pass it on to the product team for evaluation.
Could you share your use case for recursive DNS and its advantages over public DNS? This would help us better assess the request.
The best use case would be for privacy and caching as the router already has so many privacy associated features. From what I understand recursive resolver would eliminate the dns requests being sniffed by upstream providers and in my usecase is faster than any available public dns.
Thank you for sharing your use case. We’ll discuss it further with the product team.
No, it won’t help with that. When your router doesn’t have it, it will start asking other DNS servers and the root servers. It will still do that over plaintext DNS and your provider can still easily sniff that. Why not just use a DoH or DoT provider that doesn’t log and call it a day?
