I wouldn't have thought that mattered. But I
never said I had no router. I did say I'm not networked
and some people seem to interpret that as meaning I'm
using a laptop on someone else's wifi, apparently
because they don't remember the days when they
didn't set up a LAN.
What I've got is an RCN modem with a router and
3 computers hard wired to it. (But no network in the
sense that networking services and filesharing are
disabled on all 3. No Server or workstation service,
no DCOM, no UPNP, no network discovery functionality,
etc. So there's nothing like Network Neighborhood.)
There's also wifi but that's only used by guests.
On XP I have Online Armor. On Win7 I have Tiny
Firewall. There's no problem with anything getting
through. I'm used to dealing with that.
Acrylic is DNS proxy. I set the DNS server in network
settings to 127.0.0.1 and Acrylic handles it. Unbound is
similar. The problem is not that it can't get out but
rather that once I set up the config file the service quits
as soon as I start it and the error says there's an error
in the config file.
So far I have no other clues. So I was hoping to find
someone who's set up Unbound on Windows with encrypted
DNS. The trouble is that the config is very involved, most
of the advice is for Linux, and there are no basic instructions.
The man page and sample file assume one already knows
all about DNS and there's no GUI. It just installs a DNS
resolver service. So I'm not even sure that I've included
all the settings I need. I just know that Unbound either
doesn't like at least one of them or requires some I haven't
added.
