      @ ToxIcon:

      Enable unbound
      choose LAN (and your additional Interfaces maybe)
      enable DNSSEC
      This should work instantly.

      I have the forwarding mode disabled, but should not make any difference as i have seen here

      Do you have squid installed? If you have tested before, it could be that squid is "answering" or your local browser-cache. I had this too. Its working fine here since the beginning. I don't have any errors. Nor double starting of unbound. That was only at an early stage here. But may be different depending on whatever. You see, wagonza is working.

        If you are using squid, go to the config page for squid then add your pfsense IP to this line:

        "Use alternate DNS-servers for the proxy-server"

        Fixed it for me, no more sad Picard.

          Also check http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Unbound_package for a bit more detail on the setup of Unbound.
          Please let me know if you spot any mistakes/grammer errors or have suggestions.

          thx

            THANKS! This did the trick. I am still getting errors as per below but Unbound is now giving me the Borat Smile.

            This on AMD 64of today. Will work on the other i386 box now.

              O.K. I upgraded to today's snapshot on another box with i386 and it wiped out my Squid. Reinstalled Squid and Squid and Unbound working now with Borat Smiling.

              I guess the kinks will be worked out eventually…

                    Thanks wagonza, adrianhensler and jimp and all the other techno Gods on PFSENSE for making this work  ;D

                    Have just upgraded to today's second snapshot build on i386 and it took very long to go through the process. Apparently de-installed Squid and Unbound and re-installed them but in the end everything ran through smoothly.

                    I did not have to manually install any package or anything like that.

                    Still get the Unbound error on the logs but Squid and Unbound are working fine and Borat is smiling.

                    From the console I glimpsed something like Unbound log in already exists or something like that.

                    Where I am ALL the ISPs we tested including satellite are not running DNSSEC thus I am humbled by maybe being the first  :o

                    P.S. Working good also on Saturday's second snapshot on 64 bit.

                      Does Unbound have an equivalent to the host override section of DNS Forwarder?

                        Check the private address section

                        "Note: Domain Overrides and Host entries will be allowed to return answers if this option is enabled. "

                        It returns local hosts for sure.

                          Thank you, I saw that entry.  I don't think that I was clear enough in my question.  Where do I enter the host names and corresponding IP addresses?  Will Unbound pull them from the DNS forwarder page or do I need to re-enter them somewhere else?

                                I can confirm that unbound has crapped out for me at least twice in the past 4 days.  I haven't had time to look at it at all, but restarting it from services page fixed it for me both times.

                                Hopefully next time it happens I'll have a minute to take a look at the logs.

                                    So far good nuff for me for maybe a snapshot junkie upgrading almost everyday. I would hope the developers are giving this attention so as not to make for a buggy RC1  ::)

                                      It pulls them from the DNS forwarder page. So configure them there and once you have completed them, restart Unbound and it will then answer for those entries.

                                        Domain overrides will work as well. There was problems in the beginning with them but those have been ironed out. Please let me know if you come across any other problems.

                                          Enable DNSSEC

                                          Enable forwarding mode

                                          Private Address support

                                          Register DHCP static mappings

                                          Enable DNS forwarder disable

                                          I see you have forwarding enabled. So when this problem happens can you then query your name servers that have been defined in General. If those answer can you then query Unbound (using dig) and see what it's response is i.e. dig @pfsense_ip www.pfsense.org

                                          Then let me know what it sees. Also have a log at /var/log/unbound/log (cmd is clog /var/log/unbound.log).

                                            I can confirm that unbound has crapped out for me at least twice in the past 4 days.   I haven't had time to look at it at all, but restarting it from services page fixed it for me both times.

                                            Hopefully next time it happens I'll have a minute to take a look at the logs.

                                            If you could do the same please - when it happens try query, using dig, and see what its answers with. Then when you do have time see if /var/log/unbound.log contains anything useful.
