Can you use unbound on a raspberry pi?


Asked by Kairi Underwood on Dec 10, 2021 FAQ



Integrating Unbound into your Raspberry Pi based Pi- hole system removes your dependency on the middleman Recursive DNS servers run by Google, OpenDNS and CloudFare which does a couple of things for you.
Similarly,
You can now test if unbound is working as expected If all return normal results then unbound is up running. Then start pihole container. You can also try to access http://your-Raspberry-pi-ip/admin/index.php to configure pihole blocklist and etc.
Keeping this in consideration, The first question that needs to be answered is why you might want to setup Unbound on Pi-hole. Ultimately, the answer is somewhat simple, and it’s mostly privacy related. When you use Pi-hole, you generally configure an upstream DNS provider.
Indeed,
Pihole + unbound docker setup on Raspberry Pi – xFelix Pihole + unbound docker setup on Raspberry Pi Pihole is DNS based Ad blocking solution. It can also be used to enhance your home network security by filtering out malicious domain and provide privacy protection by preventing unnecessary telemetry data leaking out.
Moreover,
This post is about combing the previous post of creating a Wireguard VPN gateway for your network on a Raspeberry Pi, with a Pi-hole using Unbound on the very same Raspberry Pi (or any device or VM of your choosing). Why use Pi-hole and Unbound is well explained here.
