      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.

              @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.

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

              Btw I use [pfBlockerNG], could it be in concern in my case ?

              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
