      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 )

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        After restart system

        😧

        Do you have the register dhcp-leases in dns resolver (as gertjan indicates) on?

            Run pkg upgrade to check if there are any updated system packages available.

            We build newer versions of packages if they are available with fixes for specific issues that users may be hitting. They are then available to upgrade to but these are not expected or required upgrades.

            In the instance that upgrades are required for security issues we would usually either issues an announcement or a point release of pfSense depending on the severity.

            I would not expect the Unbound version to be the issue here. But it also doesn't hurt to update it and it's an easy test. šŸ˜‰

                Yup, you can upgrade curl. But not upgrading it should not be an issue.

                    And it's still just continually restarting?

                    Is there anything in the main system log that's looping? Something else could be restarting Unbound.

                      I stopped the service and restarted it and it worked right away.

                      But in the service list it always showed it running green even when it's not working

                          @Unoptanio why/how can you have both unbound 1.18 and 1.19.1 on the same system both starting?

                          Did you upgrade pfsense? That is a pretty fast upgrade

                          LIke 1 minute?

                              Latest updates on the situation:

                              This morning I restarted pfsense at 06:30AM

                              After the first restart, the unbound DNS in the service list is displayed with a working green icon.
                              But it's not actually working.
                              I did a manual restart of the service and it started working.
                              This problem occurs every time I restart pfsense.

                              Below is a log made at 08:45 AM showing the two startups of the service just described

                              Using the "pkg search unbound" command we discovered that my pfsense 2.7.2 had DNS unbound version 1.18.0_1.

                              Using the command "pkg install unbound-1.19.1" I installed the new update to version 1.19.1

                              I did a system reboot.

                              Throughout yesterday the log showed the two versions but I think it's normal, there are times that demonstrate the relevant version at that moment.

                              Using the command "cat /var/log/resolver.log | grep 'start'" I can see that only version 1.19.1 appears in today's logs

                              I had also disabled DHCP Registration in Unbound DNS because it caused the service to continually restart.

                              The situation has improved, there are no longer continuous restarts of the unbound DNS service and we also have the latest version 1.19.1.
                              What can I do to resolve the problem that after the first start of pfsense the unbound DNS does not work (even if in the list of services the unbound DNS appears with a working green check box icon) and I have to restart the service manually?

                                Thanks to you I discovered another interesting command "pkg upgrade" which checks if there are updates on all packages

                                The situation has improved, there are no longer continuous restarts of the unbound DNS service and we also have the latest version 1.19.1.

                                  Maybe enable verbose logging to see if there is a hint in the log what is causing unbound not to start properly ...

                                        Don't worry about this one. The domain "mobile-webview.google.com" doesn't exist ....
                                        I've tried several revolvers world wide : not found.

                                        You've set yourself "mobile-webview.google.com" as filterdns is trying its out most best to resolve it.
                                        Not very useful.

                                        This line can create 'huge' problems with DNS :

                                        Read this : Aliases.

                                        This is a typical case of :

                                        3718bf87-260b-428b-a9e8-81af105f861f-image.png

                                        Where "not useful" is an understatement.
                                        When a typical *.facebook.com host name is resolved, it will return many, like a lot, of IP addresses.
                                        The filterdns process is executed every xx seconds or so to update the relation 'host name' => IPs. If the list with IP changes, and it will change constantly, the firewall is reload, .... and process (like unbound) get restarted.
                                        Do you see where this is going ?

                                        Remove all your references to google or facebook in your aliases tables. If you need to filter these, use pfBlockerng.
                                        Your unbound will say thank you to you.

                                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                                          Disable unbound listening on the WAN and see if it stays up.
