Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I have followed this guide, but still no way. "it" is resolved, but "polito.it" does not resolve, for example.
not sure your example domain is the best, can you lookup hrowood.biz?
what does your trace give? You are setting up a recursive resolver, make sure settings allow for this
Assuming you are logged in to the server running unbound, are the ns for .it reachable? Do all .com domains work and no .org?
Can you run dig +trace on a domain that doesn't work
What do the Unbound logs say?
What upstream servers are you using?
not depend on Google/Adblock/Whatever upstream DNS server
I mean, you're gonna have to get your DNS information somewhere. You can choose and pick your upstream but you still need one. You can cache the DNS info but you will still need to refresh it eventually. You can use a DoT or DoH upstream server so your ISP cannot spy on your DNS traffic but, again, you still need an upstream.
I want to go directly to the source, i mean, if i want to resolve, for example www.polito.it, i want to ask "it", then "polito.it"... This is what Unbound should be doing.
Instead, i can resolve it:
server /etc # dig it @127.0.0.1
; <<>> DiG 9.16.48 <<>> it @127.0.0.1
;; global options: +cmd

Nothing appears in the logs. It resolve fine using 8.8.8.8 as upstream DNS.
polito.it
may not be the best example because its A
records point at private IPs (192.168.x.x). Such records are often filtered by ISP DNS servers because they are used in certain kinds of attacks.
Double check your results using DNSChecker.
Edit: also, using just dig
will not resolve all possible records related to a domain. I use a script that asks dig explicitly for a variety of record types:
#!/bin/bash
echo "SOA NS A AAAA MX CNAME TXT SRV DNSKEY"|\
xargs -n1 dig +noall +answer +nocrypto "$@"|\
sort -u -k4
