Good evening. Attempting to spoof UNBOUND and getting an Error in syntax. Volunteers offer a solution?

nano /etc/unbound/local.d/apple-block.conf\*\*  
Insert:\*\*

# Block Apple tracking and services

local-zone: “[ocsp.apple.com](http://ocsp.apple.com).” static  
local-data: “[ocsp.apple.com](http://ocsp.apple.com). IN A 127.0.0.1”

**unbound-checkconf**  
/etc/unbound/local.d/apple-block.conf:1: error: syntax error  
read /etc/unbound/unbound.conf failed: 1 errors in configuration file

I think it may be missing a `server` line

```auto
server:
    local-zone: "ocsp.apple.com" static

```

Resolved • spoof list is active, Unbound is working, IPFire (Unbound) is intact.: blocking surveillance & telemetry domains at the DNS level.
