'''Short Note''': Quickly modify above "service.conf" (or your "unbound.conf") to immediately start to use only "ICANN/IANA/Verisign/etc governed or operated Root DNS Servers" (instead of using Censorship-free DNS Servers) and also resolve domains based on [wiki:doc/DnsResolver#TLD_Providers these] TLDs: First save the above "service.conf" file as "service.utf8.conf" file using UTF-8 character encoding, to keep Unicode characters intact and '''as a backup'''. And then again save the above "service.conf" file as "service.conf" file inside "C:\Program Files\Unbound\" folder (this time use 'ANSI' character encoding, if your text editor software has that option). Find (Ctrl+F) the line which has ''' name: "." # [Root.Zone] ''' words inside the "service.conf" file, and then erase all lines below it, and also delete the line which has ''' forward-zone: ''' just 1 line above the ''' name: "." # [Root.Zone] ''' line, and also delete the ''' name: "." # [Root.Zone] ''' line itself. Save (Ctrl+S) "service.conf" file.
