On most systems, urandom and random are the exact same thing. Only Linux does this weird "blocking random" thing, based on some weird estimate of "running out of entropy" which is not an actual thing.
(u)random is powered by a CSPRNG which is seeded by "truly random numbers" gathered from multiple hardware sources.
