Then put 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf That's how I have configured it now, but this solution has a major drawback: you need to specify the IP address explicitely in /var/unbound/unbound.conf which can be inconvenient in some situations. So it's a workaround, but by no means "more simple." -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN AS43859
