===== root.hints =====
To recursively query a host that is not cached as an address, the resolver must start at the top of the server tree and query the root servers to learn where to find the top-level domain for the queried address. There are hints built into Unbound by default. Therefore, if the package is updated regularly, no manual intervention is required. Otherwise, it is advisable to use a root hint file, since the built-in hints may be outdated.
<code>
curl --output /etc/unbound/root.hints https://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache

===== Start =====
<code>
sudo systemctl enable --now unbound.service roothints.timer
</code>
===== Local DNS via NetworkManager =====
<code>
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dns-servers.conf
</code>
<code>
[global-dns-domain-*]
servers=127.0.0.1
</code>
<code>
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
</code>
===== DNSCrypt proxy =====
If you want to install our [[en/server/services/dnscrypt|DNSCrypt tutorial]], or you already have it, you still need to enable the port
># Enable port if you're going to use DNSCrypt/ADGuardhome.
> port: 5353
and add the following to the bottom:
<code>
# dnscrypt-proxy
do-not-query-localhost: no
forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-addr: 127.0.0.1@5300
</code>
