Enable DNS over TLS with Unbound and Cloudflare server: tls-cert-bundle: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt forward-zone: name: "." forward-tls-upstream: yes # Cloudflare DNS forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1111@853#cloudflare-dns.com forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1001@853#cloudflare-dns.com forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com

Verify this is working after restarting unbound and going to 1.1.1.1/help

sudo service unbound restart

After restart of unbound, use tail daemon.log to verify everything is working tail /var/log/daemon.log
