12 | ### Summary
13 | **Unbound** as validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver 🔹 **Redis** backend 🔹 Block **Ads and Trackers**
14 |
15 | 🔸 `Compile` latest Unbound on RaspPiOS with `Cache DB` and `TCP Fast Open` modules.
16 | 🔸 `Recursive` resolving from the root. **No** forwarding to other resolvers.
17 | 🔸 Redis backend database for `persistent` cache. Works as second level cache.
18 | 🔸 Network wide `Ads and Trackers` block. **No** pi-hole/adguard. **No** extra hop to resolve DNS.
19 | 🔸 Unbound `dashboard` is available at [unbound-dashboard](https://github.com/ar51an/unbound-dashboard). (_Optional_)
20 | 🔸 Refer to `release.md` for changes and update.
21 |
22 | #### Prerequisite:
23 | * Unbound compilation and installation is validated on `RaspberryPi OS/Debian`. `Post Install` startup service and scripts may require modification for other linux distributions.
24 | * If unbound package is installed. Take a backup of current `unbound.conf`. Remove unbound package completely:
25 |
26 | > `sudo apt --purge autoremove unbound`
27 |

34 | ### Steps
35 | 🔸 Redis ➜ Unbound ➜ Post Install ➜ Config ➜ Timers & Services ➜ Blocklist ➜ Start
36 | #### ❯ Redis
37 | 🔸 Install ➜ Config
38 | * **Install:**
39 | > `sudo apt install redis-server`
40 |
41 | * **Config:**
42 | An optimized `redis.conf` for unbound is available in the release under `config` dir. Default _redis.conf_ from redis **7.0.*** is used as base config for the provided config. Some of the options may not be available or may be different if you are on an earlier version of redis. You can use _redis.conf_ **either** from the release **or** your preferred one.
43 |
44 | To use the provided _redis.conf_, below steps can be helpful:
45 | > Edit redis config:
46 | > `sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf`
47 | > Delete everything in default redis config:
48 | > `Ctrl+6` `Alt+t` `Ctrl+6`
49 | > Copy and paste the provided `redis.conf`. Save and exit nano
50 |
51 | > `ℹ️` **Note:**
52 | > Provided `redis.conf` is tweaked after some thorough testing in small network. Like 4mb maxmemory has pretty optimal performance with enough cache and evict least recently used keys. Similarly snapshotting is used to save keys to database, current option will save after 2hrs if atleast 100 new keys were added or after 12hrs if at least 1 new key is added. Reboot will save database as long as snapshotting is enabled. Feel free to change them as preferred.
53 |

56 |
57 |
58 | #### ❯ Unbound
59 | 🔸 Packages ➜ Extract ➜ CFLAGS ➜ Configure ➜ Compile ➜ Install
60 | * **Packages:**
61 | Install packages required for compiling unbound. Assuming gcc is already installed, below command will install 12 packages. Your environment may require additional packages. Check compilation error to find missing package (if any):
62 | > ```
63 | > sudo apt install bison flex libevent-dev libexpat1-dev libhiredis-dev libnghttp2-dev libprotobuf-c-dev libssl-dev libsystemd-dev protobuf-c-compiler python3-dev swig
64 | > ```
65 |
66 | * **Extract:**
67 | [Download](https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/archive/refs/tags/release-1.19.0.tar.gz) and extract unbound.
68 | > Extract:
69 | > `tar -xvzf unbound-release-1.19.0.tar.gz`
70 |
71 | * **CFLAGS:**
72 | Remove debugging information, otherwise unbound binary size will be much larger.
73 | > Set CFLAG:
74 | > `export CFLAGS="-O2"`
75 |
76 | > `ℹ️` **Note:**
77 | > Unbound binary size comparison:
78 | >  ➟ _Debian Bookworm Prebuilt_ `Without Cachdb Module`
79 | >  ➟ _Compiled Without Debug Info_ `With Cachdb Module`
80 | >  ➟ _Compiled With Debug Info_ `With Cachdb Module`
81 |
82 | * **Configure:**
83 | Make sure you copy the full cmd and execute it inside the extracted unbound src dir.
84 | > ```
85 | > ./configure --build=aarch64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --includedir=\${prefix}/include --infodir=\${prefix}/share/info --libdir=\${prefix}/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --localstatedir=/var --runstatedir=/run --sysconfdir=/etc --with-chroot-dir= --with-dnstap-socket-path=/run/dnstap.sock --with-libevent --with-libhiredis --with-libnghttp2 --with-pidfile=/run/unbound.pid --with-pythonmodule --with-pyunbound --with-rootkey-file=/var/lib/unbound/root.key --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-flto --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-option-checking --disable-rpath --disable-silent-rules --enable-cachedb --enable-dnstap --enable-subnet --enable-systemd --enable-tfo-client --enable-tfo-server
86 | > ```
87 |
88 | * **Compile:**
89 | > `make`
90 |
91 | * **Install:**
92 | > `sudo make install`
93 |
94 |
95 |

96 |
97 |
98 | #### ❯ Post Install
99 | 🔸 Add User ➜ Create Dirs ➜ Copy Files ➜ Create Crypto Keys
100 | * Run script `post-install.sh` available in the release under `post-install` dir. It automates post install tasks.
101 | > Run: `sudo ./post-install.sh`
102 |
103 | > `ℹ️` **Note:**
104 | > Startup service and scripts are reused from unbound package in RaspberryPi OS Bookworm. `root.hints` is downloaded from `internic`, it will be automated through systemd timer.
105 | * Alternatively, create user manually and use your preferred startup service and scripts.
106 |
107 |
108 |

109 |
110 |
111 | #### ❯ Config
112 | 🔸 Update unbound and sysctl configuration files
113 | * A tweaked `unbound.conf` is available in the release under `config` dir. You can use _unbound.conf_ either from the release or your preferred one. If you use the provided _unbound.conf_, modify below attributes as per your environment:
114 | > Change interface to Raspberry Pi IP:
115 | > `interface:
`
116 |
117 | > Change access-control to allowed local subnet:
118 | > `access-control: allow`
119 |
120 | > Change private-address to your allowed local subnet:
121 | > `private-address: `
122 |
123 | > `cache-min-ttl` is set to 0. Zero keeps minimum ttl of cached record as the domain owner intended. After some thorough testing in small network with different values, zero gives optimal performance with `prefetch-key` and `serve-expired` enabled.
124 |
125 | > `serve-expired-reply-ttl` is set to 0. Default is 30. Unbound changed the default value from 0 to 30 a while back following the `RFC 8767` recommendation. Default nonzero value throws unbound startup `⚠️` warning when cachedb module is enabled in _unbound.conf_ under `module-config`.
126 | >> `ℹ️` **Note:**
127 | >> Unbound documentation and RFC suggested to use 30 for _serve-expired-reply-ttl_ if `serve-expired-client-timeout` (default is 0) is used. Unbound uses default 30 for _serve-expired-reply-ttl_ irrespective of _serve-expired-client-timeout_.
128 | >> Unbound behavior with default _serve-expired-reply-ttl_:
129 | >> • Record served from _cache_ ➟ `serve-expired-reply-ttl=30`
130 | >> • Record served from _cachedb_ ➟ `serve-expired-reply-ttl=0`
131 | >> Provided `unbound.conf` sets the _serve-expired-reply-ttl_ to 0. TTL of 0 indicates that the expired record is only meant for this DNS resolution and not to be cached by the client. It removes unbound startup warning, keeps cache and cachedb behavior consistent and _serve-expired-client-timeout_ is not used.
132 |
133 | > `num-threads` and various `cache-slabs` are optimized for Raspberry Pi 4 CPU.
134 |
135 | * Modify `/etc/sysctl.conf`. Enable tcp fast open for unbound and change virtual memory commit mode for redis warning.
136 | > Edit: `sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf`
137 |
138 | > Add below lines at the end:
139 | > ```
140 | > ###################################################################
141 | > # Unbound & Redis

152 | > ```
153 |
154 |
155 |

156 |
157 |
158 | #### ❯ Timers & Services
159 | 🔸 Automate blocklist and roothints update with systemd timers
160 | * Run script `install-timers.sh` available in the release under `install-timers` dir. Installs systemd timers, services and scripts for `root servers` and `blocklist` update.
161 | > Run: `sudo ./install-timers.sh`
162 |
163 | > `ℹ️` **Note:**
164 | > Timers update:
165 | > • `root servers` ➟ Monthly on the last Sunday at 3:55am
166 | > • `blocklist` ➟ Monthly on the last Sunday at 4:00am
167 | > You can change the time and frequency in `/etc/systemd/system/unbound-roothints.timer` and `/etc/systemd/system/unbound-blocklist.timer`
168 | >
169 |
170 | * Alternatively, use your preferred method for blocklist and roothints update.
171 |
172 |
173 |

174 |
175 |
176 | #### ❯ Blocklist
177 | * Create dir and empty blocklist:
178 | > `sudo mkdir -p /opt/unbound/blocklists`
179 | > `sudo touch /opt/unbound/blocklists/unbound.block.conf`
180 |
181 | > `ℹ️` **Note:**
182 | > `/opt/unbound/scripts/update-blocklists.sh` script uses [StevenBlack's](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts) `unified hosts (adware + malware) + porn` as default list. It converts default list to unbound format, removes comments and sorts it.
183 | > You can add more lists to the _update-blocklists.sh_ script. With some basic expertise in `sed` you can aggregate multiple lists into unbound blocklist `unbound.block.conf`
184 |
185 |
186 |

187 |
188 |
189 | #### ❯ Start
190 | 🔸 Initial run
191 | * Let's do the initial run. Start `unbound`, manually update `root servers` and `blocklist`.
192 | > Enable unbound:
193 | > `sudo systemctl enable unbound`
194 |
195 | > Start unbound:
196 | > `sudo systemctl start unbound`
197 |
198 | > Update root servers:
199 | > `sudo /opt/unbound/scripts/update-roothints.sh`
200 |
201 | > Update blocklist:
202 | > `sudo /opt/unbound/scripts/update-blocklists.sh`
203 |
204 | #
205 | #### ❯ Validate
206 | 🔸 Verfiy unbound and redis
207 | * Unbound resolving the DNS:
208 | > Run: `dig whoami.akamai.net`
209 | > Returns your WAN IP.
210 |
211 | > Run: `dig +ttlunits github.com`
212 | > Returns github IP in the _ANSWER SECTION_ and raspberry pi IP where unbound is running in the _SERVER_.
213 |
214 | * Redis saving the cache:
215 | > Run: `redis-cli dbsize`
216 | > Count starts increasing with each unbound DNS lookup request.
217 |
218 | #
219 | #### ❯ Cmds
220 | 🔸 Few handy cmds
221 | * **Unbound:**
222 | > Stats:
223 | > `sudo unbound-control stats_noreset | grep total`
224 |
225 | > Tail log:
226 | > `sudo journalctl -u unbound -n 200 -f`
227 |
228 | > Tail filtered log:
229 | > `sudo journalctl -u unbound -n 200 -f | grep "10.1.5.30\|10.1.5.32"`
230 |
231 | > Check config for errors:
232 | > `unbound-checkconf /etc/unbound/unbound.conf`
233 |
234 | * **Redis CLI:**
235 | > Db size:
236 | > `redis-cli dbsize`
237 |
238 | > Memory stats:
239 | > `redis-cli info memory | grep human`
240 |
241 | > Monitor live queries:
242 | > `redis-cli monitor`
243 |
244 | #
245 | #### ❯ `ℹ️` Tips & Notes
246 | * **Enable Redis Unix Socket:**
247 | Unbound **(1.18.0)** added the option to connect to redis server over unix socket. It has better throughput. Follow below steps to enable unix socket connection between unbound and redis:
248 | * Redis config:
249 | > Edit: `sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf`
250 |
251 | > Add options:
252 | > `unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock`
253 | > `unixsocketperm 707`
254 |
255 | > Restart redis:
256 | > `sudo systemctl restart redis-server`
257 |
258 | * Unbound config:
259 | > Edit: `sudo nano /etc/unbound/unbound.conf`
260 |
261 | > Modify under **`cachedb:`** tag:
262 | > > Add:
263 | > > `redis-server-path: "/var/run/redis/redis.sock"`
264 | > > Comment out:
265 | > > `#redis-server-host: 127.0.0.1`
266 | > > `#redis-server-port: 6379`
267 |
268 | > Restart unbound:
269 | > `sudo systemctl restart unbound`
270 |
271 | > `ℹ️` **Note:**
272 | > In order to use more restrictive option `unixsocketperm 770` in `redis.conf`, add unbound user to redis group.
273 | > Redis connectivity on TCP can be turned off with option `port 0` in redis.conf. When redis is not listening on TCP, specify socket path in cli cmds `redis-cli -s /var/run/redis/redis.sock`

275 | * **Resolver Configuration:**
276 | Make sure `/etc/resolv.conf` has only RaspberryPi IP name servers. `NetworkManager` in RaspberryPi OS Bookworm will make this change automatically if your router's LAN DNS is pointing to Raspberry Pi IP.
277 | > `nameserver `
278 |
279 | * **Add LAN DNS:**
280 | According to your router, change LAN DNS to Raspberry Pi IP. DNS setting under internet setup is WAN DNS, it is not same as LAN DNS. If router permits to change LAN DNS, it is usually under LAN setup.
281 |
282 | * **Troubleshoot Blocked Domain:**
283 | Below option logs blocked domains, using that you can find domain causing the issue.
284 | > Edit: `sudo nano unbound.conf`
285 | > Set: `log-local-actions: yes`
286 |
287 | * **Block Selective:**
288 | Specific domains can be blocked for specific IPs with tag options. It works on top of existing ads and trackers block. Provided `unbound.conf` has selective block configuration commented out under `|Block|`. If interested uncomment it and replace the IPs and domains.
289 | > `ℹ️` **Note:**
290 | > Provided specific block configuration handles simple use case pretty well. For complex scenarios utilize unbound RPZ.
291 |
292 | * **DNS Lookup:**
293 | To inspect if the record is served from redis cachedb.
294 | > Increase log verbosity briefly:
295 | > Run: `sudo unbound-control verbosity 4`
296 |
297 | > Tail log in separate terminal:
298 | > Run: `sudo journalctl -u unbound -n 200 -f`
299 |
300 | > Run: `dig github.com`
301 |
302 | > _ANSWER SECTION_ in the log shows that DNS lookup is responded from redis cache:
303 | > `info: redis ;; ->>HEADER<<- ...`
304 |
305 | > Revert log verbosity:
306 | > Run: `sudo service unbound reload`
307 |
308 | * **Uninstall Unbound:**
309 | Unbound can be uninstalled by running below cmd in the build directory.
310 | > `sudo make uninstall`
311 |
312 | After uninstall all the `Post Install` and `Timers & Services` steps can be easily reverted by running `post-remove.sh` provided in the release.
313 | > `sudo ./post-remove.sh`
