      @stephenw10 This is the problem : the service didn't stop, all looks ok but some website cannot be load, so I just restart the DNS Resolver then all back to normal. I didn't note the time happen so cannot see clear in log.
      Btw I use [pfBlockerNG], could it be in concern in my case ?

        It could be. It depends how it fails at the client. Does it specifically show a DNS error in the browser?

        If you try to ping some host b FQDN does it fail? What error is shown there?

          @stephenw10 I find this somewhere

          pfSsh.php playback svc restart unbound
          

          This could restart the DNS Resolver ? If I put this in a CRON, every day? It should do the trick no ;) ?

            It would restart it, yes. Seems like papering over the issue though.

                Are you forwarding DNS? If so ensure DNSSEC is disabled.

                Unlikely but maybe out of memory or something. Try disabling it.

                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.

                  Nope. (It's disable)

                  I do not think so, see :

                      Probably OK. You might need to call the php binary directly. Make sure it runs. Check the logs and see.

                          So like:
                          /usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/sbin/pfSsh.php playback svc restart unbound
