I set up unbound according to your guide , but when I do a DNS leak test, I see my ISP DNS. Should it be like that? Thanks.

When using unbound, a DNS leak test would be expected to show your public IP being used as DNS server, e.g. your public IPv4 as assigned by your ISP to your router. Are you really seeing your ISP's DNS servers being used?

Running a DNS leak test is only of value if you are running your traffic through a VPN. A DNS leak would be when the DNS traffic is visible outside the VPN tunnel. If you aren't running your traffic through a VPN, then you needn't worry about a DNS leak. When you run unbound, the IP of your DNS p…

[image] sha-265: how unbound in you setup using DNSSEC without the auto-trust-anchor-file parameter? You need the trust anchor. This should already be configured by the unbound installer as follows, which is why we don't include it in our pi-hole.conf file: cat /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/r…

I saw @sha-265 post and my question is similar but let's be more concrete.. If I run dns leak test and there appears my public IP not DNS of my ISP, is that leak ? all that in context of unbound without any VPN. Thanks

[image] vasilgn: If I run dns leak test and there appears my public IP not DNS of my ISP, is that leak ? No. That is the actual IP of your DNS server. There is no concept of a DNS leak if you aren't using a VPN service. A DNS leak is where your data traffic is in the VPN tunnel but the DNS tr…

I saw this and it made me curious: If one were to use 'Wi-Fi assist' (when the cellular connection 'helps' the local connection) who would win the DNS lookup (in a home setup)? And can the VPN double-duty cellular and local traffic on the same machine?? Just an academic question; I don't use Wi-F…
