  1. Remove ProtectKernelTunables=true: This prevents various with socket options from working as shown below.
    unbound[] warning: so-rcvbuf 1048576 was not granted. Got 425984. To fix: start with root permissions(linux) or sysctl bigger net.core.rmem_max(linux) or kern.ipc.maxsockbuf(bsd) values.
  2. Add CAP_NET_ADMIN to available caps which is needed for ip-transparent: yes config option to work as shown below.
    unbound[] warning: setsockopt(.. IP_TRANSPARENT ..) failed: Operation not permitted
  3. Make ReadWritePaths less permissive: UNBOUND_SYSCONF_DIR equals to sysconfdir which usually equals to /etc and UNBOUND_LOCALSTATE_DIR equals to localstatedir which usually equals to /var. Allowing write access for those dirs shouldn't be needed. The only dirs unbound should be allow to write to are /run ( for pidfile), @UNBOUND_RUN_DIR@ (for chroot) and @UNBOUND_CHROOT_DIR@ in case it differs from the previous one.
  4. Bind-mount /run/systemd/notify, UNBOUND_PIDFILE, /dev/log, /dev/urandom in order to use them inside chroot.
  5. Add few extra hardening options: RestrictNamespaces, LockPersonality and RestrictSUIDSGID should be safe to use.

1. Remove `ProtectKernelTunables=true`: This prevents various with socket options from working as shown below.
`unbound[] warning: so-rcvbuf 1048576 was not granted. Got 425984. To fix: start with root permissions(linux) or sysctl bigger net.core.rmem_max(linux) or kern.ipc.maxsockbuf(bsd) values.`

2. Add `CAP_NET_ADMIN` to available caps which is needed for `ip-transparent: yes` config option to work as shown below.
`unbound[] warning: setsockopt(.. IP_TRANSPARENT ..) failed: Operation not permitted`

3. Make `ReadWritePaths` less permissive: `UNBOUND_SYSCONF_DIR` equals to `sysconfdir` which usually equals to `/etc` and `UNBOUND_LOCALSTATE_DIR` equals to `localstatedir` which usually equals to `/var`. Allowing write access for those dirs shouldn't be needed. The only dirs unbound should be allow to write to are `/run` ( for pidfile), `@UNBOUND_RUN_DIR@` (for chroot) and `@UNBOUND_CHROOT_DIR@` in case it differs from the previous one.

4. Bind-mount `/run/systemd/notify`, `UNBOUND_PIDFILE`, `/dev/log`, `/dev/urandom` in order to use them inside chroot.

5. Add few extra hardening options: `RestrictNamespaces`, `LockPersonality` and `RestrictSUIDSGID` should be safe to use.
