      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

                both.jpg

                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 ??

                                  Yeah the first thing I would do is remove those two failing hosts that don't exist.

                                        Ok!. It seems like everything is working fine now.
                                        I restarted the PC at 7:00 am.
                                        After the reboot everything works fine.
                                        Unbound DNS works.

                                        In summary: steps to solve the problem

                                        1. Disabled DHCP Registration in DNS Unbound (caused continuous restarts of the service)
                                        2. Disable unbound listening on the WAN (caused the service to be restarted twice)
                                        3. It is recommended to install the latest version of the Unbound DNS service

                                          Good to hear you've sorted it.
                                          Having unbound serve dns records for DHCP leases is known to cause restarts. I think many here disable it and create static leases for those hosts they do want to resolve.
                                          I found explicitly selecting listening interfaces often caused problems with unbound not starting. I set it to 'all', relied on firewall default blocking to prevent access where it wasn't desired, no more unbound start-up issues.
                                          I doubt the upgrade contributed to fixing the issues you were seeing. I reckon it came down solely to the listening interfaces selection!

                                            this should be taken care of by just upgrading pfsense - still not understanding how you had both on the system??
