      The config backup doesn't back up package code

      I think it does, unless you check the Skip packages option which is the default. At least, that is my understanding. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

        @alejo-0 That will back up the package configuration but not the binary files or PHP code. Just take a look at the the .xml file.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Been seeing some reports of DNS issues with pfSense 22.05 and v3.1.0_8. I can't reproduce this on my test box, but will have it run more tests to see if I can reproduce.

          For those that are having this specific issue in 22.x ONLY:
          Here is the previous pfb_unbound.py version which you could try and see if this resolves the issue.

          Run this command to download the file and then restart Unbound for it to take effect:

          curl -o /var/unbound/pfb_unbound.py "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/BBcan177/83a6f4002ede77e00de7f8c67edb7421/raw"
          

          Thanks!

            Hi @bbcan177
            For those of us experiencing DNS issues with Python Mode after upgrading to pfB-NG 3.1.0_7 on pfSense 2.6.0, could you also provide that version's pfb_unbound.py file?

              @thexman it's the same file. I didn't see any reports about 2.6.

                Thanks! I can't wait to see if it will allow me to go back to Python Mode.

                    After making a backup of the 3.1.0_7 file, I switched back to Python Mode, downloaded the old python file using the link that you provided, and did a force reload.

                    The very first thing that I noticed was that I no longer got an error saying that pfSense was unable to check its version. Then, I did several of the things that would usually cause unbound to stop responding. So far, I'm happy to say, Python Mode is working quite well with the 3.1.0_6 python file. As a matter of fact, I could swear that 3.1.0_7 with the 3.1.0_6 python file is using less CPU. I also don't see my state table filling up with FIN_WAIT states from RDNC (port 953). Lastly, I don't see the error in the unbound log that I would see right before becoming unresponsive, it would say something like "invalidateQueryInCache: qinfo not found in cache".

                    In any case, I'll keep monitoring. Thanks for providing the old python file.

                      @thexman thanks for reporting back!

                      I was waiting for someone to post what error they were seeing and I didn't get any helpful details. So I think that bit of info that you now provided helps diagnose the issue. I will post a fix for testing once I have it ready.

                        Awesome! I'm happy to do any testing that I can.

                          I'm a bit confused as to the current status of things... The current version I see available is 3.1.0_9. Does it have a known bug related to DNS getting sometimes broken? Thanks.
