@fireodo

Do at the CLI:

pkg search unbound

what do you get?

Try:

pkg install unbound-1.19.1

@Unoptanio Two things to try. Disable resolution of DHCP leases and Openvpn client hostnames. Also, increase the loglevel, which might give you more clues. One other thing, leave listening/outgoing interfaces as 'all'.
Obviously not suggesting these as solutions but as a means to getting to the cause/culprit.

Lets see if your trouble is gone

@fireodo

In your opinion, why didn't I have the latest version before? I also have all the patches installed

What version of pfsense is Unbound 1.18.0_1 from?

There are updates that are not shown on the GUI and not with Patches - they are shown only on the CLI.

@fireodo My 2.7.2CE install is also currently on unbound-1.18.0_1

[2.7.2-RELEASE][root@fw.local.lan]/root: pkg search unbound
unbound-1.19.1                 Validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver
[2.7.2-RELEASE][root@fw.local.lan]/root: pkg info | grep unbound
unbound-1.18.0_1               Validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver

When might it pull in the updated package, other than explicit upgrade via the cmdline?

I guess 2.7.1 (not shure)

I have a script (see attachment - change .zip to .php) that looks via cronjob if there are some updates. (The script is from @Gertjan if I remember well) pkg_check.zip
The cronjob looks loke this:

/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/php -q /root/bin/pkg_check.php | logger

Edit: In my case the location of the script is in /root/bin (directory I have created) - put the script in your case where you wish ...

Tanti auguri :-)

So is it a bug in 2.7.2 that doesn't update unbound DNS?

No thats not a bug - if some changes where needed in unbound that occure AFTER release of 2.7.2 thats the only way to handle it - as far as I know!

PS.: Is unbound still restarting?

@fireodo

during my lunch break in about two hours I will reboot the system

See my answer with the script inside - this kind of upgrade you have to do manually.

darcey

@fireodo Thanks, I'd completely forgotten about this. It seems on my system, unbound and curl have updates available.
Still I think I am going to leave it as is as things are running very smoothly for me of late.

Never change a running system ... old wisdom
(curl has a security issue so I recommend to upgrade)

@fireodo

After restart system

Gertjan

@Unoptanio

That's unbound in permanent restart mode !
You can stop that now, as the test succeeded.

To stop the testing :
Uncheck :

Save, and Apply.

( I'm trying a new solution to a 10+ year old question )
