Thanks for the install instructions. I have a few questions I hope you could answer before I put it in the wiki.

  1. Install libunbound2

From where? Maybe it's because I'm not an OSX user, but I wouldn't know this, and also didn't find anything with a quick google search.

  1. Disable "Get DNS server from OS configuration"
  2. Set DNS server to 127.0.0.1:53

Are you sure this is needed, and not something special for you configuration? Because the libunbound resolver should work with any DNS server.

unbound is a caching DNSSEC resolver, to be installed in the client machine (hence the IP address 127.0.0.1 on port 53). The official packages are available from the developers page:
