    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    The mystery is solved: It was the Fritzbox all along. It was already narrowed down to either something being wrong with the AX86U (which seemed unlikely given that my config wasn't THAT exotic), or something being wrong with using the Fritzbox in a way that approximates a modem (which is...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    No effect. I have two updates: After a few days of running double-NATed (so with the AX86U in "Automatic IP" WAN mode behind the Fritzbox 7530 configured as a router as well), where - to my surprise - Unbound worked like a charm, I reverted to the original setup with the Fritzbox as modem only...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    I got news. It's NOT my ISP. I posted my problem in my ISP's community forums. Other customers tried to query the root servers, and it worked. So I did some testing and there are setups where my queries pass, too. Here's my setup: Plugged into the wall is an AVM Fritzbox 7530. These devices...

    I looked into that, and tried to force update my anchor/root.key. ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AX86U 3004.388.4_0 Mon Aug 21 19:34:20 UTC 2023 router@RT-AX86U-D318:/tmp/home/root# unbound-anchor -v /opt/var/lib/unbound/root.key has content fail: the anchor is NOT ok and could not be fixed...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    Yep, it's like that. I can ping all of them, but I can query none of them. Good point, and knowing that the cause for my issue is outside of my realm gives me some degree of peace of mind. However, issues like this tend to keep nagging me quite a bit. ;) Actually, I'm not even sure this is...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    I'll be damned. Reading this gave me an idea: Instead of switching routers, I fired up an Ubuntu installation in Windows Subsystem for Linux on my main laptop. Tried your dig query to the root server - the query timed out just like with unbound. Tried to ping the server - all is fine. Then I...

    Thanks for the explanation. That was actually my test case I think..... let me check again. Now this is quite the noob question, but... I've found that Diversion seems to work best with guest networks, i.e. guests DNS queries are also handled by Diversion without any extra config. Now why can't...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    Tomorrow I'm going to dig up my old RT-AC3200, where I had Diversion & Unbound running for years without issue (except that at the end the router needed 1-2 reboots per week because it kept locking up intermittently after some uptime). Should I try to get it up and running as I find it, or...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    Not that I'm aware of. Put differently, if one of my country's ISPs did some forced DNS redirection, I probably would have read about it somewhere. I'm only using my ISP's DNS servers because of my "minimal config after factory reset" approach. Normally I'm using Cloudflare, DNS.WATCH, or Quad9...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    OK, so I installed scribe and the log handling got indeed much easier. Thank you, @joe scian So, on with the show ;) The root.hints file contains domain names and IP addresses of 13 servers. The IPs match what you told me to add to the unbound.conf file (except the last two from your code...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    @dave14305: I figured I need to stop and restart unbound after changing the conf-file, correct? Anyway, I did it using unbound-control stop and then unbound -c /opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.conf again. However, no change: Oct 20 14:34:46 unbound[27567:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.17.1)...

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    Thanks for chipping in, joe! Re clean install: This is very much the starting point of this thread - as much factory default as possible, only minimal configuration to setup the prerequisites of running unbound. That's why my issue puzzles me so much.

    Unbound [SOLVED] Unbound not resolving anything

    Not currently. Before I did a factory reset to get to the bottom of this issue, I had ntpMerlin installed (using chronyd and set to intercept all ntp requests). I remember playing around with it a little (installing/uninstalling it etc.) because I thought that it might be related to my unbound...

    Since there is no internet connectivity with unbound running, I have to switch it on and off accordingly. So I did another round with unbound running. First of all the netstat output again: router@RT-AX86U-D318:/tmp/home/root# netstat -nltup | grep -E ':53 |unbound|dnsmasq' tcp 0 0...

    Thanks for your quick answer! I had found that post during my initial research. At this point I'm still shying away from adding "code" that far under the hood, as I deem myself not knowledgeable enough. However, I also found this...
