      @chudak I don't even have servicewatchdog installed.. What are you needing it for - what services are stopping that need to be restarted? That you would need it in the first place?

        We’ll the answer is obvious - restart unbound

          I have never had an issue that I can recall of unbound just stopping to be honest.. But you could for sure run into a race type condition issue where if something restarted unbound, say dhcp leases or something - and servicewatchdog said oh, unbound isn't running let me restart it.

            and other packages as well:

            Arpwatch Daemon
            ntopng

            The point is that it has not been like this before 23.01

              I must restart clamd, snort and unbound once more by hand after upgrading to 23.01 and then I have to reboot it.
              After the reboot it was stating again like before automatically.

                @chudak If you have DHCP lease registration then it will restart at each renewal. In that case I'd remove it from watchdog.

                If not, then I'd check to see whether it's stopping (logged) or crashing.

                I don't think it results in the processing stopping but if you use forwarding in DNS Resolver then uncheck DNSSEC, and some have reported they need to uncheck the option to use TLS as well.

                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.

                  Thx for the reply.
                  I actually don't have either DHCP lease registration or DNSSEC checked.

                  But that's all related ti pfBNG. And I do see other packages as well being restarted.

                    If they're all at the same time, an interface going down/up can do that.

                    "address already in use" is basically saying unbound is already running and you (watchdog) can't start it again.

                      @chudak Yeah. We thought we had sorted out unbound issues on v23. Had a complete crash of unbound. Never once saw that on any box with v22. Unbound just isn't good under v23. I wish I could have v23 with old unbound.
