I think that because the pihole+unbound is only going to be used by my laptop, I just need the DNS to be up when my laptop is actively being used.

But switching between DNSmasq and pihole+unbound sounds like a real bother to me. I think I will just set up pihole+unbound as a container on my home server computer and use whatever DNS is given to me by their respective router when I am out and about.

Thanks for getting back to me :)

but

Thanks, I will try this.

But what do you think about using pihole+unbound DNS on a daily laptop? Or should I keep it to the home server?

I tried but it just keeps popping up whenever I reboot, and it binds to port 53 so the pihole container doesnt start because it causes an error.
