There is a request to get the UNBOUND DNS (local DNS) as an Addon.
As we wait for for this to become an Addon, is there a way to setup a HA hardware (in my case HA Blue) with UNBOUND DNS (with AdGuard)?
Please advise.
I’ve heard great things about UNBOUND DNS. I use AdGuard and it already has encryption built-in that you can turn on in the settings and use an appropriate upstream DNS address.
I use a stub-resolver in my router (OpenWrt) that uses DNS-over-TLS encryption and points to CloudFlare servers that I route AdGuard Home through.
Take what I say next with a grain of salt, but if you’re familiar with docker, you could setup UNBOUND DNS as a container on your hardware. I’ve seen plenty of posts of people using the Portainer Add-on to setup containers next to HA, but the HA developers highly advise against this (at least from what I’ve seen in the past).
I am not a developer or a network engineer, so an Addon, for us N00bs would be appreciated.
I use the AdGuard addon now, and it uses by default Cloudflare’s DNS server at 1.1.1.1;53
With local Unbound DNS you can omit Cloudflare. -After the first Unbound DNS IP lookup, the lookups are local. - No external logs and quicker response.
You don’t have to use the default. AdGuard has their own DNS providers. On that page, they also provide a bunch of other DNS providers.
And here it is (updated)
