Um… yes I understand what DNS does. Really?
I’m not trying to challenge you in any way. My disconnect in understanding is what unbound does and why I would want to use it over the built-in pihole FTLDNS. What are its advantages?
EDIT: I’ve answered my own question, unbound queries root name servers directly instead of using DNS providers. This is interesting. New question, what is the advantage of being my own DNS provider? Privacy from my ISP (who can just see the IPs that I am connecting to, anyway)?
Well, I’m now using pihole for blocking + unbound for recursive resolving
