My unbound config

do-ip6: yes
do-ip4: yes
# port to answer queries from
port: 53
# Enable UDP, "yes" or "no".
do-udp: yes
# Enable TCP, "yes" or "no". If TCP is not needed, Unbound is actually
# quicker to resolve as the functions related to TCP checks are not done.i
# NOTE: you may need tcp enabled to get the DNSSEC results from *.edu domains
# due to their size.
do-tcp: yes
# control which client ips are allowed to make (recursive) queries to this
# server. Specify classless netblocks with /size and action. By default
# everything is refused, except for localhost. Choose deny (drop message),
# refuse (polite error reply), allow (recursive ok), allow_snoop (recursive
# and nonrecursive ok)
#access-control: 10.0.0.0/8 allow
access-control: 127.0.0.0/8 allow

trust-anchor-file: trusted-key.key
# enable to not answer id.server and hostname.bind queries.
hide-identity: yes
# enable to not answer version.server and version.bind queries.
hide-version: yes
# Will trust glue only if it is within the servers authority.
# Harden against out of zone rrsets, to avoid spoofing attempts.
# Hardening queries multiple name servers for the same data to make
# spoofing significantly harder and does not mandate dnssec.
harden-glue: yes
# Require DNSSEC data for trust-anchored zones, if such data is absent, the
# zone becomes bogus. Harden against receiving dnssec-stripped data. If you
# turn it off, failing to validate dnskey data for a trustanchor will trigger
# insecure mode for that zone (like without a trustanchor). Default on,
# which insists on dnssec data for trust-anchored zones.
harden-dnssec-stripped: yes
# Use 0x20-encoded random bits in the query to foil spoof attempts.
# http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vixie-dnsext-dns0x20-00
# While upper and lower case letters are allowed in domain names, no significance
# is attached to the case. That is, two names with the same spelling but
# different case are to be treated as if identical. This means calomel.org is the
# same as CaLoMeL.Org which is the same as CALOMEL.ORG.
use-caps-for-id: yes
# perform prefetching of close to expired message cache entries. If a client
# requests the dns lookup and the TTL of the cached hostname is going to
# expire in less than 10% of its TTL, unbound will (1st) return the ip of the
# host to the client and (2nd) pre-fetch the dns request from the remote dns
# server. This method has been shown to increase the amount of cached hits by
# local clients by 10% on average.
prefetch: yes
# number of threads to create. 1 disables threading. This should equal the number
# of CPU cores in the machine. Our example machine has 4 CPU cores.
num-threads: 4
## Unbound Optimization and Speed Tweaks ###
# the number of slabs to use for cache and must be a power of 2 times the
# number of num-threads set above. more slabs reduce lock contention, but
# fragment memory usage.
msg-cache-slabs: 8
rrset-cache-slabs: 8
infra-cache-slabs: 8
key-cache-slabs: 8
# Increase the memory size of the cache. Use roughly twice as much rrset cache
# memory as you use msg cache memory. Due to malloc overhead, the total memory
# usage is likely to rise to double (or 2.5x) the total cache memory. The test
# box has 4gig of ram so 256meg for rrset allows a lot of room for cacheed objects.
rrset-cache-size: 256m
msg-cache-size: 128m
# buffer size for UDP port 53 incoming (SO_RCVBUF socket option). This sets
# the kernel buffer larger so that no messages are lost in spikes in the traffic.
so-rcvbuf: 1m
## /Unbound Optimization and Speed Tweaks ###
# Enforce privacy of these addresses. Strips them away from answers. It may
# cause DNSSEC validation to additionally mark it as bogus. Protects against
# 'DNS Rebinding' (uses browser as network proxy). Only 'private-domain' and
# 'local-data' names are allowed to have these private addresses. No default.

# local-data statements are allowed to contain private addresses too.
# private-domain: "home.lan"
# If nonzero, unwanted replies are not only reported in statistics, but also
# a running total is kept per thread. If it reaches the threshold, a warning
# is printed and a defensive action is taken, the cache is cleared to flush
# potential poison out of it. A suggested value is 10000000, the default is
# 0 (turned off). We think 10K is a good value.
unwanted-reply-threshold: 10000
# Should additional section of secure message also be kept clean of unsecure
# data. Useful to shield the users of this validator from potential bogus
# data in the additional section. All unsigned data in the additional section
# is removed from secure messages.

# Unbound will not load if you specify the same local-zone and local-data
# servers in the main configuration as well as in this "include:" file. We
# suggest commenting out any of the local-zone and local-data lines above if
# you suspect they could be included in the unbound_ad_servers servers file.
