Setting up Pi-hole as a recursive DNS server solution ¶. We will use unbound, a secure open-source recursive DNS server primarily developed by NLnet Labs, VeriSign Inc., Nominet, and Kirei. The first thing you need to do is to install the recursive DNS resolver: sudo apt install unbound.
When unbound resolves a domain name, it uses qname minimisation, whereby the higher level DNS servers only get that part of the domain name required to get you to the next level. The only nameserver that gets the final domain is the final nameserver (this process is described in our guide).

May 5, 2020 · In part 1 of this article, I introduced you to Unbound, a great name resolution option for home labs and small network environments. We looked at what Unbound is, and we discussed how to install it. In this section, we'll work on the basic configuration of Unbound. Basic configuration. First find and uncomment these two entries in unbound.conf:
- 100 East Davie Street, Raleigh, 27601, NC
- Lightweight - Unbound was originally developed in C based from a Java prototype. Its authors wrote the source code to be very modular in design, and to be very lightweight.
- Easy to configure - Unbound is very easy to configure. It is configured through a configuration file that is quite like YAML (Yet Another Markup Language).
- High performance - Unbound’s lightweight code structure, simple and modular design contribute to making Unbound an extremely high-performing recursive name server.
- Supports DNSSEC validation - Unbound was designed to perform DNSSEC validation, a mechanism to protect DNS data, from the ground up. DNSSEC validation is not implemented as a plug-in or bolt-on like some other DNS servers.
May 4, 2020 · Unbound is capable of DNSSEC validation and can serve as a trust anchor. It can do TLS encryption, and the most recent version now implements the RPZ standard (a more robust and sophisticated version of what DNSMasq does with split-DNS to allow the filtering of DNS queries for privacy and security).
Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver product from NLnet Labs. It is distributed free of charge in open-source form under the BSD license.
