I found the solution, in the file /etc/default/unbound the variable
RESOLVCONF and RESOLVCONF_FORWARDERS are set to true.

In the /etc/resolve.conf I had:

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 88.159.1.200
nameserver 88.159.1.201

Probably of the localhost the system ignors or got an error and did add
the lines and also ignores the forward in the config.


Kind regards,
