error: outgoing tcp: bind: Address already in use

[Quirin Scheitle]

Hi Nick,

IIRC, unbound does a “bind before connect” on sockets, which requires a local port to be completely unused [1] to be used by bind. 

Unbound 1.6.4 should fix this by setting SO_REUSEADDR on outgoing ports - please give it a try.

Kind regards
Quirin
