I'm sure that is in resolv.conf, but you should mention things like
that.

I'm also assuming that the machine you're trying this on actually has
the address 192.168.1.1. Otherwise, um, yes, that's what should happen.

Check if you're specifying "interface:" in your unbound.conf file. If
you do, you want to include 127.0.0.1 in the set you specify.  However,
unless you have a good reason, don't override it at all.

Be well.
