Wireguard and Unbound; can't resolve dns.

I wanted to setup a lightweight, non-systemd dependent networking setup; so I decided to use dhcpcd; with unbound as a DNS resolver.

My problem is every time I connect to my wireguard VPN (mullvad currently; had the same issue with PIA before) I lose all name resolution ability. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

My unbound config and resolvconf.conf are as following.

Toolkit wise; I chose dhcpcd after trying both networkmanager and systemd-networkd. I don't like both (I'm not running a DE so networkmanager is too heavy and slow for me; and I don't need all the features.) (systemd-networkd is a systemd thing; so I can't duplicate it in a non-systemd distro in the future like I want to do) Dhcpcd is very fast, minimal like I like to have and works great with iwd. I picked unbound because it was on the list of dns resolvers that do openresolv subscription; after realizing only dhcpcd does not work in one of my computers in a closed campus network.
