Unbound ipv6 Notice Messages

Hello everyone. I have this weird message in unbound and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. I setup unbound (port 5353) with dnsmasq and it works but this message keeps appearing even though I disabled ipv6.

daemon.notice unbound: [22986:0] notice: sendmsg failed: Invalid argument
daemon.notice unbound: [22986:0] notice: remote address is fe80::(random) port 5353

And which in the year 2025 is not the brightest of all ideas.
The Kernel assumes IPv6 to be present and most daemons need explicit configured to be ipv4 only by now.

Why did you use the MDNS port for unbound? Anyway, provide more information like your current unbound config (uci plus the content of the conf files under /etc/unbound).

You must re-enable ip6 on lo to make errors go away. Thats sickeningly absent from all "disable ipv7 now" styled guides.

i'm not too familiar but ipv6 seems enabled with value 0. Is it because of default.forwarding and all.forwarding is enabled or should they be disabled? many thanks.

Maybe start by explaining what you did to break it?

Dude why do you mess with stuff which you don't understand?
And if you do not know something in particular you should maybe first look it up?
