Behavior of Unbound outgoing-interface

Unbound
1

Hello all,

The Unbound documentation for outgoing-interface says “If none are given the default (all) is used”. How does Unbound pick which interface to go out of at this point? I thought it may pick a random interface, but that seems to only happen when multiple outgoing-interface values are given.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi Marcos,

From the documentation (https://nlnetlabs.nl/documentation/unbound/unbound.conf/)) I found:
“If none are given the default is to listen to local-host.”

I hope this helps!
