Unbound Reference

Validating recursive DNS resolver that queries root servers directly without forwarding to third-party DNS providers. Unbound validates DNSSEC signatures to protect against DNS spoofing and runs with minimal resources on any Linux system or Raspberry Pi.

When to Use

  • Setting up a private recursive DNS resolver (no forwarding to Google/Cloudflare)
  • Validating DNSSEC signature chains for DNS security
  • Configuring DNS-over-TLS for encrypted upstream forwarding
  • Using as Pi-hole upstream resolver for ad blocking with full privacy
  • Managing local DNS zones and custom DNS records
  • Monitoring DNS cache performance and query statistics
