Description

DNS root hints for Unbound can be refreshed automatically with a systemd timer. This package is for administrators who want root-server data updated without manually editing Unbound support files.

Enable it only where update timing and network access are acceptable. DNS root data affects resolver behavior, and failed or unexpected updates can break local name resolution.

How to run

unbound-root-hints.timer
