Well, this is selfhost, so why not do that and set up unbound to use?
Is unbound different than say dnsmasq that my router is running? Isn't it just another DNS server that has to go to a higher DNS server for resolution?
Dnsmasq is dependent on whatever DNS servers you provide it with for its data, so if those controlling those DNS servers get ordered to block something you experience that.
Unbound however does the same job as the DNS servers you would configure in Dnsmasq : when you do a DNS request, unbound goes to the root hint servers, then works its way down through the authorative DNS servers til it finds what you are requesting.
