      I had the same problem, restart didn't work for me.

      What did help is that I disabled EasyPrivacy in DNSBL EasyList.

      Not sure why this happened exactly, but maybe it will help people out who find this topic.

        I had this same Error: Reloading Unbound… Failed to Reload... Restoring previous database.... Not completed.

        Disabling EasyPrivacy in DNSBL EasyList also worked for me.

        Using PFSense 2.4.2 p1 latest release

          I had the same issues and found another solution:

          Sometimes the certificates generated by ubound are not valid (by time/date/etc.).

          Solution: delete all certificates from ubound in the folder /var/ubound/ - than restart pfsense/ubound.

              Hello, I am a beginner in pfsense, please can you tell me what are the commands to delete these files? or is there an interface to remove them?

                        @noplan Many thanks. Removing those files (dated 1969) and restarting the Unbound service worked for me
