Hi all, I am struggling with an issue I wasnt able to solve for myself since months and I am not sure if it even is an issue.
I am trying to use DNS of TLS feature within the Unbound Settings. There I have entered the details for nextdns and that works so far. All external DNS is going through nextdns and is logged there properly.
The problem I face is that I am not sure if the DNS is leaking also to other DNS servers. I use dnscheck.tools to see which DNS Servers are used and there I see the nextdns servers but also many different other ones. I am wondering if those are a result of unbound recursions or real leaks?!
Would be glad if one of our experts here can provide some Tips for me.
Attached are SCs of my setup (couldnt figure out how to include into the text)
Not sure if you are able to look at the uploaded screenshots, I had to convert them into a smaller format so that I can post them due to the requirements of very small filesizes here.... or maybe my post is not clear enough?
hostname should contain:
your ID.dns.nextdns.io. not what you have listed
local zone is changed to static?
general dns servers should still have a backup DNS server there according to the manual
when you login to the nextdns page. does it show. your ip sync and it says you are using their service?

The Hostname was created according to instructions on NextDNS. I just have added the name of my firewall in the beginning just to see it is really my device... I have just concealed my ID for this forum.

Yes I can see on mynextdns.io that it works.

can I put the unbound internal dns there or does it have to be a public one?
edit: I have just used the standard IPs from mynextdns dashboard and it seems it has fixed the issue. Still dont understand why... I dont want to use them??
Edit 2: other DNS Servers just popped up again. This didn't solve it, I anyway didn't understand why it would...
