Title: DNSmasq and Unbound Peacefully Co-Existing?
Post by: spetrillo on December 22, 2025, 05:10:43 PM
Hello all,

I made the move to DNSmasq for local DNS and DHCP services, with Unbound as my authoritative server that looks at Quad9 on the Internet. Attached is my Dnsmasq config and Unbound config. Am I missing anything in the configs? Lastly I am using the DNSSEC services from Quad9. When I try to hit their URL for this I get back an unable to parse request message. Does this mean I do not have DNSSEC configured correctly?

Thanks,
Steve

screen shot 3.  i would turn off DNS within dnsmasq. change listen port to 0.      you also do not need dnssec enabled if using quad 9

i use unbound and it works 100% reliable.

i setup dns over tls for quad 9 or similar products though.
