Unbound is an implementation of a DNS resolver that does caching and DNSSEC validation. It’is written and maintained by NLnet Labs. It’s recursive and caching so if you need an authoritative DNS nameserver please consider using NSD and reading my article “How to configure master and slave NSD on FreeBSD 9.0 “.
I’m going to lead you through an easy step by step guide: install, configure and run Unbound in a chrooted environment with DNSSEC validation.
Install Unbound using the port provided by FreeBSD
cd /usr/ports/dns/unbound
make install clean
Now change directory to prepare the tree to allow a chrooted Unbound:
cd /usr/local/etc/unbound
cp unbound.conf.sample unbound.conf
mkdir dev log run
echo "devfs /usr/local/etc/unbound/dev devfs rw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
echo 'devfs_set_rulesets="/usr/local/etc/unbound/dev=devfsrules_unbound"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo '[devfsrules_unbound=5]
add path log unhide
add path null unhide
add path zero unhide
add path crypto unhide
add path random unhide
add path urandom unhide' >> /etc/defaults/devfs.rules
mount /usr/local/etc/unbound/dev
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
Fetch some files Unbound needs:
named.cache from Internic to provide recursion
fetch ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache
root.key from IANA to verify DNSSEC extensions
unbound-anchor -a "/usr/local/etc/unbound/root.key"
dlv.isc.org.key from ISC to verify DNSSEC extensions
fetch http://ftp.isc.org/www/dlv/dlv.isc.org.key
Generate the keys Unbound needs to be safely controlled via unbound-control:
unbound-control-setup
You can now edit unbound.conf:
vi unbound.conf
Feel free to use the following one slightly edited to run chrooted with DNSSEC validation and to serve clients from 192.0.2.0/24 subnet:

# If chroot is enabled, you should pass the configfile (from the

# file path is removed to be able to reread the config after a reload.

#
# The pid file can be absolute and outside of the chroot, it is

As you can notice, validation for domain name comv6.com succeded via dlv.isc.org.
What you have now is a fully working recursive, caching and DNSSEC validating Unbound DNS server.
This is just a quick guide to make you started configuring Unbound. You are warmly encouraged to read all the background documents and the manuals as well:
man 8 unbound
man 5 unbound.conf
man 8 unbound-control
man 8 unbound-anchor
I’m trying to set this up on FreeBSD 10.0 and everything seems to work, except for the devfs.rules entries. When I restart devfs after adding
to /etc/defaults/devfs.rules I get
Any suggestions?
Hi Kaden,
thank you for your comment.
No known issues with FreeBSD 10, so please, check your fstab, it should look like this:
then
mount /usr/local/etc/unbound/dev
and
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
Thank you
Thank you for your quick response, Antonio.
Well I feel silly. This is what I get for pulling all-nighters, I guess. I did double check fstab, but I completely spaced mounting the directory and didn’t even think to check what was mounted either.
Oh well, this is how we learn, eh? 🙂
Hello,
that’s right, glad to hear you fixed.
Thank you
