      It's not actually unusual to see that logged multiple times when Unbound is restarted. And that isn't usually a sign of a problem. For example here I restarted manually it on my edge, logs filtered for restarts:

      Sep 23 15:57:15 	unbound 	97113 	[97113:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.15.0).
Sep 23 15:57:17 	unbound 	97113 	[97113:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.15.0).
Sep 23 15:57:18 	unbound 	97113 	[97113:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.15.0).
Sep 23 15:57:20 	unbound 	97113 	[97113:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.15.0).
Sep 23 15:57:41 	unbound 	97113 	[97113:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.15.0).
Sep 23 15:57:42 	unbound 	97113 	[97113:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.15.0).

      The question of how Unbound is managed is... another question! 😉
      But it should not stop t responding normally after that.

        Manually restarting, because, for example, your editing the config, is normal.

        This is a more graphical way to look at my unbound restarts.

        and most of these restarts are a result of of my interaction with unbound, directly, or indirectly, like me trying out things with pfBlockerng-devel - like switching between unbound and python mode so I think I can answer something here on the forum after testing it myself

        When I'm not at work for a week - then unbound won't restart in that week.
        Only pfBlockerng-devel will break that cycle.
        For me, unbound 1.15.0, is very stable.

        Using 22.05 on a 4100 - and yes, I'm using IPv4 (two third of the traffic) and IPv6 (one third of the traffic).

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Yup, it doesn't restart often for me either but when it does it logs several restarts in a row like that.

          When OP checks his resolver logs I would expect it to show that as the last thing that happened. If it was showing continuous restarts that would be a much bigger issue.

          If the Unbound service just stops a cannot be restarted I expect to see some errors logged either in the Resolver or System log.

              Any reason you're not running something newer?

                    Add the RSS widget on your dashboard :

                    756b3318-6899-48c8-91d0-0a25b10033c0-image.png

                    https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-plus-software-version-22.05-now-available
                    so you'll have a double check on what happening and available.

                    This :

                    298af18d-a1a5-4249-8f25-b9cb40fb8653-image.png

                    is strange.
                    The check for available updates succeeded, but the info coming back said "21.05.2-Release", so, you're fine.
                    As already said above, use the Troubleshooting Upgrades suggestions. You will find 22.05 avaible.

                      I did the:
                      Navigate to System > Updates
                      Set Branch to Previous stable version
                      Wait a few moments for the upgrade check to complete

                      But now it shows:

                        At the command line run:

                        pkg-static -d update

                        What error does it return?

                              The segfault like that indicates the crypto chip is in an unreachable state. You need to completely power cycle the device to reset it. So halt the device then remove the power for 10s or so. It should update correctly when rebooted.

                                I have no possibility to unplug it is that a problem? The device is hours away from me.

                                  @freek_box If you click that doc page URL it's a known issue. It shouldn't affect normal operations but does affect packages and therefore upgrades. I believe it's just a one time fix though. I haven't had it recur on my 2100.

                                    Unfortunately I know of no other way to reset that once it has entered that state. It will not be able to connect to the update repo until the crypto chip is reachable again.

                                        Noop.
                                        The 'crypto chip' van't be reset using a command.
                                        A 10 seconds power down can bring it back online.

                                        edit : that is : a clean, commanded power down by the GUI or console(SSH),. Some ripping out the power and put it back in again could create other issues like a dirty file system.

                                        So : console or SSH option 6.
                                        Or GUI : Diagnostics > Halt System
                                        Let the system shut down.
                                        Then, remove the power for 10 seconds.
                                        Power back in.
                                        Done.

                                          It is not. The crypto chip remains powered as long as the PSU is connected to the device.

                                            So how do I know if I'm on the correct version? I also have a VPS running with version:
