DNSmasq DNS vs Unbound DNS [ Solved ]

Hi,

noobie on networks here.

Domestic deployment, macmini ---- > switch ------ > opnsense (PC with 1 buitin nic and 1 pci nic)  --- > ISP modem ---- > www
The docs are confusing wrt whether the dnsmasq DNS  vs. Unbound DNS.   ???
I take it that only one is to be configured.  Can someone confirm this please?

I figure both are not needed as both seem to want to use port 53 and a conflict arises. I change one to port 853 but I see no effect.

Advice please?

Correct, normally if all you want to do is enable DNS resolution for your LAN(s) clients, only one is needed.
If you change the port on one you can run both but there's no "normal" scenario I can think of that would need both.
Short: yes, one or the other, normally.
