I'm curious why you'd use pi-hole in combination with Unbound instead of using blocklists and stats that Unbound has built in?

I don't know about unbound's blocklists and stats or indeed much about unbound at all.

This: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ was stupidly simple, pi-hole has a gui that I was already used to and it all works great. So I think about and study other things that need fixing/improving in my life instead.

To flip it, why would I use unbound without pi-hole? What's the win I haven't seen (or even looked at or considered?)

In my experience, the fewer moving parts the better.

I run Unbound on my OPNsense router, and it uses the same blocklists as Pi-hole and the stats page (blocked domains, DNS requests, etc) are the same afaict.
