Just installed unbound on AX88U but it will not start.

[cityhorizon]

I just installed unbound on AX-88U but it will not start.
I am new to unbound.
I am already running Diversion and Skynet on the router without any issues.

RT-AX88U? Which firmware version, specifically?

Is this a new router? How did you set it up? How did you set up the USB drive for use with amtm?

Is amtm fully updated? Are all the scripts updated? Is Entware fully updated?

If you manually restart dnsmasq

service restart_dnsmasq

does unbound now start correctly?

If not you should be able to start unbound in debugging mode..

First ensure all unbound instances are terminated,

killall unbound

then you should be able to request the start of unbound in debug mode..via the unbound_manager menu, then look for errors....

e  = Exit Script [?]

RT-AX88U? Which firmware version, specifically?

Is this a new router? How did you set it up? How did you set up the USB drive for use with amtm?

Is amtm fully updated? Are all the scripts updated? Is Entware fully updated?

The firmware is 386_7. The problem has been resolved. I did a hard reboot of the router and now ubound is reported as running. However I don't know why i am getting this: " Warning WAN: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver=YES". Is the setting to be changed to NO? Many thanks for responding to my request for help.

Yes, anytime you change or add a major script such as Unbound, you need to do at least one reboot of the network even if things seem to be working properly already. Even if just to test that they will continue to do so afterward too.

With the warning message you're getting, it may be what you want from Unbound. Have you read/searched the main thread?

This may be of help too.

Unbound Ipv6 Set-up

Hello, I was wondering what I had to to do get unbound to work with Ipv6, right now It seems like only Ipv4 is functioning correctly. I was looking in the advanced unbound config and tried to turn on integration IPV6: do-ip6: yes and reboot but it still seems like the v6 is not working...

Unbound is now in 3 parts:

Here, Part 1:

Unbound - unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server)

This thread is for the discussion topic : unbound_manager script. As per the GitHub Hints/Tips: Differences between the operational modes Easy mode Advanced Mode 'Easy' mode - you have limited Install options: i.e. Advanced Options Stubby Integration DoT installs are not available...
