Unbound dnsmasq config/entries

I tested unbound with chatGPT and it found an error. Wanted to check with you and see if this is corrrect. If so can amtm/unbound automatically add these lines upon install/refresh?

Your current /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add only contains Skynet whitelist IP sets, which is fine — but it's missing the required lines to tell dnsmasq to forward DNS requests to Unbound (running at 127.0.0.1#53).

✅ Fix: Add These Two Lines
Edit /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add and add the following at the top:
no-resolv
server=127.0.0.1#53
Explanation:
Directive
Purpose
no-resolv
Tells dnsmasq not to use /etc/resolv.conf (which might list ISP DNS)
server=127.0.0.1#53
Forwards all DNS to Unbound running on localhost

vi /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add
Add these lines at the top:
no-resolv
server=127.0.0.1#53

Was Unbound not working?

It was working but hard to tell if it was resolving to ISP. It seems to be slightly slower now (barely noticeable) which may be due to the fact that now it is resolving to authoritative servers?
