Hi,
just for fast information, is it enough for unbound to remove:

forward-zone:
        #forward-first: yes
        name: "."
        forward-tls-upstream: yes
        forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com
        forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com
        forward-addr: 8.8.4.4@853#dns.google
        forward-addr: 8.8.8.8@853#dns.google
        forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853#dns.quad9.net
        forward-addr: 185.222.222.222@853#dns.sb
        forward-addr: 185.184.222.222@853#dns.sb


Makes it sense to keep:

server:
        tls-upstream: yes
        tls-cert-bundle: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt


I ask because after reading the thread I've tried on one
of my home's net dns servers and it worked (I could browse the web)
but browsing speed was noticeably slower, does it improve
in the long run or do we have to choose between
privacy and speed?

Thanks in advance.

Ciao,
Tito
