Hi, I have Unbound installed and in use. When I flush logs in the Web GUI, do that also flush the cache in Unbound? I take it when I use Unbound, two caches are created, for Pi-hole and for Unbound...
No. Pi-hole software is separate and independent from unbound.
Flushing the logs does not clear the Pi-hole cache. The cache is cleared with a restart of FTL or with these commands (or with Restart DNS resolver from the settings page where you can also flush logs):
pihole restartdns reload (the reload option updates lists and flushes the cache without restarting the DNS server)
pihole restartdns (full restart of Pi-hole subsystems including cache flush)
sudo service pihole-FTL restart (also does a full restart of the DNS resolver)
Unbound has a cache, and Pi-hole has a separate cache. Each cache is controlled by the respective software.
We recommend that you leave both caches active.
Hi, does restarting the system (sudo reboot now) clear the Unbound cache?
Yes.
Thx
