Unbound Makes Pi-hole WAY Better (and more private) | Unbound + Pi-hole Setup Tutorial



Set up Unbound to act as a recursive DNS server to use with Pi-hole for a complete private, ad-blocking experience! Hire me: …

  1. also, there will be sites or devices that uses hardcoded DNS… you can monitor this by setting up firewall rules on your router (mine's Synology) to deny traffic to Google DNS on port 53 and see the hits pile up over time… to counter this, first setup an allow rule for your pihole/unbound servers to port 53, then setup a deny rule below to all traffic to port 53… at this moment, I see 14% of hits are denied DNS traffic to Google

  2. nice!
    I wonder, how would you configure redundant setup with such NAS, plus opnsense/pfsense?
    I think unbound is on by default on opnsense/pfsense itself, so just create another pihole instance on another device and point it there?
    or would it make more sense to configure both pihole instances to point on both unbound instances?

  3. I switched from Pi-Hole to AdGuard Home about 6 months ago, then installed unbound. Pi-Hole works fine, but AdGuard home is a whole other level. Please consider doing a video with AdGuard if you haven't already. Lastly, your videos are very well done, easy to follow, so I think many of you subschribers would enjoy another ad blocker to try. Cheers

  4. When you talk about encrypting DNS queries with Unbound do you mean between Pi-Hole and Unbound? I don't believe that recursive queries are able to be encrypted to the root and authorative DNS servers.

  5. Root servers do not support DoH/DoT. Only dnssec.
    Why show Cloudflare and say “you can add an extra layer of security”? Yes you can with Cloudflare, no you can’t when using root DNS servers.

  6. Great video and I've installed and uninstalled pihole and unbound from Casaos a thousand times because it never worked, I always thought that pihole had to have one IP and unbound another IP but no one ever said that. First video that gives a different IP for each one, I'll test it.

  7. Just a couple things not mentioned. If you using pfsense or opnsense, you can just configure Unbound on your router. And you should never run one instance of pihole. Always run two and the second one should be on another device, like a raspberry pi or in an lxc in proxmox. Setting up only one on Synology, if you reboot your synology or a network issue, then your whole network loses internet access.
