<p>Hello all. I am new to Unbound. I have it installed on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS, and I'm attempting to run it, but am having problems getting it to run. The primary error I get now is that it attempts to open a udp4 circuit on Port 53, but craps out, saying it cannot open the port. This, even after I disabled systemd-resolverd, etc., and I ensured nothing else was attempting to open the port. The following are my support and config files, as well as logs on what happens when i try to run it.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>1) My standard Unbound Config file - Attachment #1. </p>
<p>2) Log file: "<strong>Systemctl Status systemd-resolved</strong>" command and result - Attachment#2</p>
<p>3) Result of "<strong>ufw status</strong>" command before starting Unbound - Attachment#3</p>
<p>4) <strong>Netstat -tulnp | grep :53</strong> result - showing that port 53 is not open. Attachment#4 -</p>
<p>5) Actual command to execute <strong>unbound</strong> and the resultant log/error messages - Attachment#5</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Some Notes:</p>
<p>1) In my test terminal window, I am logged in as "root." I use "sudo -u unbound" before running the command so it runs as "unbound" and not "root," since most of the files it needs to access are owned by unbound and not root. But I wonder if that might be a factor in the process not being able to open port 53.</p>
<p>2) I do not use localhost (127.0.0.1) in the "interface" command of the config file. I use the machine's assigned local IP (197.185.29.10). But I do recall switching to the hard IP(127.0.0.1) and it made no difference. The port did not open. And I also "allow" it in my access-control statements.</p>
<p>3) All stub resolvers including systemd-resolved are disabled. </p>
<p>4) It is an older version of Unbound (1.13.1) I know 1.23.1 is current. Might the older version be an issue? My packae manager didn't have the most recent version. Only this one.If this is a concern, where can I get the updated pkg? I currently do not have "make" etc. installed so I can't build it at present.</p>
<p>5) I set "<strong>chroot = "" </strong>" if that means anything.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Hopefully, this is enough to get the discussion going. I appreciate any assistance offered. If you need further info, please let me know and I'll produce it.</p>
<p><br />Thanks very much.<br /><br />Regards,</p>
<p>Arnold.</p>
