Au contraire, I’m running unbound right now on my laptop. There are some situations though where it’s not feasible to run one's own recursive DNS resolver, such as a home router for non-technical people that doesn’t support ddwrt/openwrt.

Unfortunately the current version of unbound packaged in Debian/Devuan has an annoying bug when running under non-systemd+apparmor.
https://bugs.debian.org/947771

I attempted to install knot-resolver as an alternative but it appears that the upstream packages have gained a hard dependency on systemd.

MaraDNS/Deadwood packages in Debian are still using a release from 2015, so I guess I’ll be trying powerdns-recursor next as that package appears to be reasonably up to date.
