I'm curious if this: Pihole-FTL.log is full of “ERR: Port mismatch” log entries is included in today's release. The reason I ask is that I still see a number of:

[2022-04-20 18:55:00.409 21235M] ERR: Port mismatch for 127.0.0.2: we derived 5353, dnsmasq told us 43
[2022-04-20 19:05:00.518 21235M] ERR: Port mismatch for 127.0.0.2: we derived 5353, dnsmasq told us 43

This situation might be different from the link above as it's an alternative loop back/local address. I'm running unbound and like its name in the upstream servers graph.

[yubiuser]

No it's not. dnsmasq didn't pickup the proposed patch yes:

Also log upstream port for dnssec-retry

The Web UI brings so much baggage with it it's dependency on PHP and it's just so much stuff that gets installed on my RPI. Consider using the following integrated web engine instead with it's integrated Lua Server Pages: GitHub - RealTimeLogic/BAS: Embedded Web Server Library with Integrated Scripting Engine

@surfskidude

Consider using the following integrated web engine instead

We have a complete re-design coming in V6, which will remove dependency on PHP.

@jfb

We have a complete re-design coming in V6, which will remove dependency on PHP.

Which technology is it going to use then?
