Unbound is a free and open-source, high-performance Domain Name System (DNS) resolver that provides a secure, validated, and recursive resolution of domain names. It is developed and maintained by NLnet Labs, a not-for-profit foundation in the Netherlands.

Unbound was created with a focus on security, and it implements DNSSEC, which provides cryptographic verification of DNS data to prevent attacks such as DNS spoofing and cache poisoning. It also supports DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), which provide encryption and privacy for DNS queries and responses.

Unbound is designed to be lightweight and fast, and it has a small memory footprint. It can be used as a standalone resolver or as a caching DNS server, and it can handle a large number of queries per second. It also supports multi-core processors and can take advantage of hardware acceleration for cryptographic operations.

Unbound is a popular choice for both personal and enterprise use, and it is often used as a local resolver or as a DNS server in a private network. It is also used by many internet service providers, content delivery networks, and other organizations that require a fast, secure, and reliable DNS resolver.
