Replacing DNSMasq DNS with Unbound

  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

If you're running Unbound, then you need to sort DNSMasq - otherwise both are fighting on the same port...
Any pointers?

I’m afraid I don’t understand what you wrote. Until recently unbound seemed to work fine, but maybe that was just my impression, so I would like to learn!

With dnsmasq - you can disable its resolver by setting the port to "0" (zero) in the dnsmasq.conf

port=0
 
OK. This is the entire file:
Code:
no-resolv
server=127.0.0.1#65053
In "unbound.conf" I have (a.o.) this:
Code:
server:
    interface: 127.0.0.1
    port: 65053
Would this mean that dnsmasq and unbound are still "competing" or is my setup OK?

You might want unbound on UDP/53 (and UDP/853 perhaps for DNSSEC), and dnsmasq on port 0 (which disables dnsmasq from acting as a resolver, period)
 
Any pointers?

I think you're doing okay. If it's not broken, no need to fix unless you want to try something new.

The discussion implies you have to use Unbound for adblock. That I don't think you (or any existing common script users) are ready..
 
I'm trying to build a version of unbound with libopenssl 1.1.1 statically included, using the instructions from @Odkrys, as given here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/stubby-installer-asuswrt-merlin.49469/page-22#post-457050 (but I don't want to pollute the stubby topic, so I'm following up here).

Building Entware and unbound with libopenssl 1.0.2 statically (by modifying the unbound Makefile as suggested) seemed to work find (unbound got build without errors; I did not try to run it on my AC86U).

Now I want to try libopenssl 1.1.1 instead of 1.0.2, so I copied the stuff in the suggested repo (after selecting the 1.1.1 develop branch) and tried to build again. Unfortunately I get multiple warnings now:
Code:
$ make ./package/feeds/packages/unbound/compile
WARNING: Makefile 'package/system/fstools/Makefile' has a dependency on 'kmod-fs-autofs4', which does not exist
WARNING: Makefile 'package/libs/openssl/Makefile' has a dependency on 'kmod-crypto-user', which does not exist
WARNING: Makefile 'package/libs/openssl/Makefile' has a dependency on 'kmod-crypto-hw-padlock', which does not exist
WARNING: Makefile 'package/libs/openssl/Makefile' has a build dependency on 'cryptodev-linux', which does not exist
How should I handle this?
 
Code:
make package/unbound/compile V=s
will give you more info.
Actually already did that, but it only seems to say that openssl does not build correctly?
Code:
checking for SSL... configure: error: Cannot find the SSL libraries in ~/Entware/staging_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_glibc-2.27/opt

Did you adjust Makefile of openssl to entware style?

Somehow during the compilation it wants to change one folder (either /opt or /etc, can't remember) on the build system itself... If I build via sudo (I'm trying in a virtual machine, so no real harm done) the build does complete.

However, I expected to end up with one or more large binaries with the libraries statically included. Instead I apparently have created a static libunbound.a (that is considerably larger than the dynamic .so version), but I have no idea how to use it (just putting that in /opt/lib, removing the .so versions, and replacing the unbound binaries in /opt/sbin is not working).

Any more tips? (Or am I too clueless?)
 
Seems like the result of my build still has a dynamic dependency on libssl?

Code:
# ./unbound-checkconf
./unbound-checkconf: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 
After building a binary, check with ldd to confirm that a library is no longer being dynamically linked. For OpenVPN, for example.

You need to remove ~/Entware/staging_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_glibc-2.27/opt/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 and libssl.so.1.1.
Compiler search shared library first.

But You will fail anyway. It is not easy than my thought.
Current entware compiler makes error when link unbound to openssl statically.
crosstools-aarch64-gcc-5.3-linux-4.1-glibc-2.22-binutils-2.25 RT-AC86U compiler also failed.
crosstools-aarch64-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1 RT-AX88U compiler succeeded.
But binary failed to execute because of other shared libraries which compiled from different compiler.

I suspect the problem comes from binutils version.
 
Thank you for saving me loosing more time on this (though it was interesting).

I guess I’ll have to wait until OpenWRT/Entware update to OpenSLL 1.1.x.
 
For those interested in knowing EDNS Client-Subnet, I've done a write up recently, mainly notes for myself but general purpose enough to read (click the previous link).

Briefly touched upon why you want your own DNS resolvers too. And in case, you want to enable EDNS Client-Subnet in Unbound though not needed as explained in the article.

In other news, Unbound 1.9.0 has superior support for DNS over TLS, incorporated some nice TLS features (that have been in place e.g. in pixelserv-tls for a little while).

Sounds good.

Hope the Entware team finally releases the required OpenSSL update...
