Slow Cloudflare response times when using unbound & DNS over TLS

[bondskin]

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

The actual response times of cached entries using are perfect and expected.
Pi-hole and unbound are working fine.
Queries which are not cached are send to cloudflare

forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com
forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com
forward-ssl-upstream: yes
forward-tls-upstream: yes

Actual Behaviour:

The query time for non-cached entries are very high, typically 200-400ms
Is that typical or something to expect when using DNS over TLS?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried your suggestion but no change to the query time.
But I accept that this is not an unbound forum, just tried my luck

It is me again, after 16 hours I can indeed confirm that your proposed solution helped to improve the situation.
The average query time is now below 200ms

minimal-responses: yes
forward-tls-upstream: yes
