I needed to verify that my Unbound DNS server (which is, as of a few weeks ago now running as a service on my OpenWRT router as opposed to a Raspberry Pi) was actually resolving it’s own queries and not passing them off to Google or Cloudflare.
Turns out it’s simply a case of running a DNS Leak Test. I used the one here.
If Unbound is working and resolving locally then you should see your ISP provided IP address.
I'm a technology professional who's been passionate about computers since my Grandad introduced me to an Intel 386 back in the 90s when I was a kid. Those moments inspired a passion within for technology, and I've been playing around with anything with a circuit board ever since. Whenever I have a moment you can probably find me working on something computer-related, and this is where I like to write about those moments.
