Re: [tor-relays] Why do 40% of Tor exits uses 8.8.8.8 for DNS resolving ?

Unbound does cache DNS entries, but there was also serious discussion about whether or not the cache is a privacy risk/anonymity leak, but I feel it's worth the trade-off since public DNS servers do the same thing.

It can be nice to link a tutorial : how to set up quickly and easily a
DNS resolver to increase privacy ?

May be exit operators can understand it's not really a big job to
apt-get install unbound (an example)
and use root DNS servers.
I've always read using root DNS is not very good for speed... but if I'm
not wrong Unbound (and others) have a cache ?
