I had the same issue but when I checked unbound I found out that it is configured to be using 5335 if in your configuration it is not just change that and just restart your machine and everything should be fine.

I just tried it. It ran without issue. Can you try it again and see if you get this error again.

Can you also try running this on your main proxmox shell to see if it works.

wget https://www.internic.net/domain/named.root

Script also works fine here.

🌐 It seems that you're facing a network problem, probably linked to DNS.
