Netmasks (both IPv4 and IPv6) that are allowed to use the server. The default
allows access only from RFC 1918 private IP addresses. Due to the aggressive
nature of the internet these days, it is highly recommended to not open up the
recursor for the entire internet. Questions from IP addresses not listed here
are ignored and do not get an answer.

Imagine an ISP network with non RFC1918 IP adresses - they can't make
use of PowerDNS recursor.
As of now VyOS hat allow-from set to 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 which created an open
resolver. If there is no allow-from statement a config-migrator will add
the appropriate nodes to the configuration, resulting in:
service {
dns {
forwarding {
allow-from 0.0.0.0/0
allow-from ::/0
cache-size 0
ignore-hosts-file
listen-address 192.0.2.1
}
}
}
