warning: so-sndbuf 4194304 was not granted. Got 9216. To fix: s
tart with root permissions(linux) or sysctl bigger net.core.wmem_max(linux) or kern.ipc.maxs
ockbuf(bsd) values. or set so-sndbuf: 0 (use system value).
None of the sysctls mentioned exist on NetBSD and I don't see an obvious one via sysctl -a

Start unbound with a default config

The 9216 max suggests that the one you're looking for is
net.inet.udp.sendspace or net.inet6.udp6.sendspace (or both).

No idea why unbound even tries to set the sndbuf.
There is no direct equivalent of net.core.wmem_max, but the value that
it "got" and probably wants to override is net.inet.udp.sendspace.
That however is
/*
* For send - really max datagram size; for receive - 40 1K datagrams.
*/
static int udp_sendspace = 9216;
static int udp_recvspace = 40 * (1024 + sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
A program should not assume that there is a deep write buffer for UDP.
