Versions

unbound 1.9.0

Platform

Rasberry Pi 3B+

Expected behaviour

Answer the DNS queries with an IP-address.

Actual behaviour / bug

I had problems with some DNS queries. After reducing the private-address to my local address range the problems were gone.
The IP-addresses with problems are in the range 172.30 to 172.31. It seems like the default private range was from 169.254 to 192.168.

Steps to fix

Reducing the private-address to your local used ranges.

172.30 to 172.31 are private prefixes (RFC 1918) and are not routeable on the Internet.

What was the intent of making the changes? The default private-range entries cover all the RFC 1918 space along with the other IP address space used for LAN only needs.

You are right. It was an VPN problem.
