<p>Hello, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm using <span name="searchHitInReadingPane" id="0.6023624743462556" class="highlight">
unbound</span> as a local DNS server on my laptop (Arch Linux). Occasionally the laptop is unable to resolve .co.uk TLDs while connected to a VPN (AirVPN using OpenVPN). When this happens the AirVPN website says their servers can still connect to .co.uk addresses,
so I wonder if <span name="searchHitInReadingPane" id="0.23791271025784788" class="highlight">
unbound</span> could be causing the problem. <span>I can't reproducibly cause the issue, which seems to happen randomly and doesn't affect any other TLDs. If I disconnect from the VPN, .co.uk addresses are resolved again.</span></p>
<br>
<p><span><span>Any help would be much appreciated, even if just to confirm that <span name="searchHitInReadingPane" id="0.500195139951181" class="highlight">unbound</span> isn't the problem.
</span></span><br>

<p>U<span name="searchHitInReadingPane" id="0.7976890510742646" class="highlight">nbound</span> listens on 127.0.0.1 and points all DNS queries to the AirVPN nameserver at 10.4.0.1. Queries for servers at my university get sent to the DNS at 131.227.13{0,1}.5.<br>
