Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver. The C implementation of Unbound is developed and maintained by NLnet Labs. It is based on ideas and algorithms taken from a java prototype developed by Verisign labs, Nominet, Kirei and ep.net. Unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also DNSSEC (secure DNS) validation and stub-resolvers (that do not run as a server, but are linked into an application) are easily possible. A user and group are recommended to run Unbound. The following should not conflict with anything else on SlackBuilds: groupadd -g 304 unbound useradd -r -u 304 -g unbound -d /etc/unbound/ -s /sbin/nologin -c \ 'Unbound DNS resolver' unbound Optional DNSCrypt support is provided. To enable: DNSCRYPT=yes ./unbound.SlackBuild This will require libsodium which is available at SlackBuilds
