pfblockerng stops the DNS resolver!

enesas

DNS resolver has been stopping a few times lately. Even if I restart it stops again. Disabling pgblockerng fixes it.
I did a forced update and it was fixed.
But now it happened again.
The error in the last update is like this:

PF Version 2.7.0

error parsing local-data at line 49 position 9 'softethn ': Syntax error, could not parse the RR's TTL
error parsing local-data at line 50 position 9 'softethn ': Syntax error, could not parse the RR's TTL

@enesas said in pfblockerng stops the DNS resolver!:

Disabling pgblockerng fixes it.

pfblockerng prepares "files" to be used by
a) the python script (aka : python mode)
b) by unbound directly (aka: unbound mode)

What mode are you using ?
How many DNSBL feeds do you ?

Can you show the first 50 lines of the file where the erroneous hostname "'softethn '" is listed ** ?

Ok that unbound fails as was asked to load/use a file with 'syntax errors'.
Normally, pfblockerng doesn't create files (for unbound to use) that contains errors, but if the error was in one of the DNSBL feeds you've chosen, then yeah ..... BS in => BS out

**
To find the file, use console or SSH mode - option 8:

cd /var/unbound
grep 'softethn' *

what shows up ?

@Gertjan
I will listen to your advice. I will try to do it as much as I know.
