[Edit: this question came out of my confusion. I thought Unbound could somehow substitute DNS servers (like CloudFlare), but it can’t. Apologies for my ignorance.]
I’ve often heard about Unbound, and the possibility of using it as a DNS resolver on my laptop. So, to be clear, not as a DNS resolver in a local network; just in a single machine, also because I’d like to use it no matter where I bring my laptop.
The instructions given in the second link above seem quite complete. Does anyone here have other tips or experiences to share? I’m with Ubuntu on a Thinkpad.
Cheers!
Unbound can query the root dns servers, but it’s also commonly used as a recursive resolver, which just uses a server upstream, similar to
systemd-resolved. I use unbound network-wide, but I have it querying 9.9.9.9 to take advantage of their filtering.Now I understand, thank you for the explanation!
