[SOLVED]Unbound DNS in query forwarding mode on dual stack ipv4/ipv6

My isp offers dual stack ipv4/ipv6, and so far, so good; https://test-ipv6.com/ gives me 10/10.

I am using Unbound DNS in query forwarding mode, and have my DNS servers as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 under System/Settings/General/Networking.

Would it be recommended to switch these to 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844, in order to make everything future proof/simple/consistent/"correct" ?
(I do have a couple devices in my network which only show up under ipv4 ARP.)

Yes, you can do that. This doesn't affect IPv4-only hosts in the LANs. They can still send queries to Unbound over IPv4 and Unbound forwards these to Google over IPv6.
