      Unbound package has been added.  Currently working on fixing a bug when you have host overrides / domain overrides in Services -> DNS Forwarder.

      Our Unbound package written by Warren Baker is designed to drop right in and replace DNSmasq so you will find that it uses the defined entries in the DNS Forwarder screen.

      If you are not using host /domain overrides go ahead and install the package and try it out if your running 2.0-Beta4.  You'll want to visit Services -> Unbound and enable DNSSSec and click save after package installation.

        All known issues in the unbound package are fixed!  Give it a try!

          Hmmm, this looks interesting.  Will this be capable of serving up zone changes to a secondary?  I have pfsense running as a virtual machine under virtualbox, but a downside of that is if pfsense is down, nothing (including the main server) can access any hosts on the lan by name, which sucks.  I would like to run a secondary on the main server that would pull from the primary (unbound on pfsense.)  Am I out to lunch or would this work?

            Yes, this would work fine if you define the servers under services -> dns forwarder.

                Package installed fine on my Alix box. I have set up DNS with google servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. How can I check if this is running ok? Also now my local DNS is not resolving anymore. See screenshot for the DNS configuration. The DNS forwarder under services was automatically disabled btw…

                Edit: Well, I disabled forwarding mode, because it is said so when enabling DNSSEC...

                  Installed fine here too, but Name-resolving of my PCs on LAN doesn't work too. I tested with "Enable forwarding mode" enabled and disabled.

                  Here are the respective log-entries:

                    Hmmm, I had other things going on last night, so I didn't get a chance to install and test this.  Looks like that was a good thing, as there seem to still be issues.

                      Looks like the default root.hints file was not downloaded correctly. You can see if it has data in it by ls -l /usr/local/etc/unbound/
                      Unbound should still use internal hints for resolving - although its slightly slower. When saving/restarting unbound it will check that file and download it again if needs be.

                      With regards to your non PC resolving - try install the pkg again. I have fixed both host and domain overrides.
                      Let me know if you have any other problems please.

                          Will try it…

                          And how can I check if the DNSSEC is working correctly?

                            Go to http://test.dnssec-or-not.org/ and Borat should give you the thumbs up or

                            dig @ <ip>edu +dnssec

                            Look for the flags section which should contain 'ad' in them. For example:

                            ; <<>> DiG 9.6.2-P2 <<>> @192.168.1.14 edu +dnssec

                              Hey wagonza,

                              thanks for the answer. I now get Borat, so this looks good. Still, I can't resolve my local hostnames as before with dnsmasq.
                              What kind of info do you need? It is working with dnsmasq…

                              Thanks for your help!

                                    Here it does NOT run. Say, at http://test.dnssec-or-not.org/ i don't see Borat. I reinstalled unbound, no change.
                                    Nor local hosts resolve.

                                    unbound-checkconf shows this:
                                    unbound-checkconf: no errors in /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf

                                      Had another problem with the package. Sometimes after the dhcp lease is over, the client doesn't get my pfSense box as a DNS server, but the DNS servers I provided in general settings. Then my clients can't connect to the internet, because dns is not allowed for them, only to the pfSense box. Why do these servers sometimes get pushed to the clients?

                                        Updated to version 1.2.2 and still my clients do not get the pfSense LAN ip address as the dns server but the ones configured in general dns settings. Why is that? dnsmasq correctly pushes my pfSense LAN IP to the clients…
