        And if you remove the host override do you still have the same symptoms?

          Deleted host override, no change. Same error after force reload.

            Do you have DNS Forwarder disabled ?
            Do you have DNS Resolver DNS Query Forwarding disabled?

            What is the output of :

            ls -al /var/unbound
            ls -al /var/db/pfblockerng
            ls -al /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl

                Can you try to disable DNSBL, then run a force Update.
                Enable DNSBL then run Force Update.

                If you still have errors, then enable only on DNSBL group with only one URL enabled, run a Force Reload DNSBL and see if it reload unbound.

                  Why would you have DNS servers listed in the general setup page if your using unbound in resolver mode? Having there sure would not cause any errors since they would never be used, unless you told pfsense not to use 127.0.0.1?

                    When I deleted all the DNS servers in there it wouldn't download any packages from the package manager. When I put 1 back the package manager worked again. Others reported similar behavior on other posts.

                    I don't think I have told it not to use 127.0.0.1, where would I do that besides the DNS resolver which we already checked?

                      Lets forget pfblocker for a second... Does unbound work when not using pfblocker? Disable pfblocker does your resolver work as it should..

                      Its right there in the general setup - where you would of set extra dns
                      0_1549507427683_disableloopback.png

                      I would also uncheck allowing your ISP to hand you dns via dhcp... That checkbox above the one I point out.

                      Pfsense out of the box resolves, and the only thing it should point to for dns is itself
                      0_1549507542208_onlythinglisted.png

                      If you are having issues with unbound working, I would figure that out before you worry about package like pfblocker

                        None of those were checked on general setup. If I remove all DNS servers from the DNS server list the package manager fails to download anything.

                        Would having comcast have anything to do with this?

                          Did you try to do nslookup from the pfsense ?

                            Sure your isp could be doing something - but I was on comcast for years and they never dicked with dns that I recall.

                            Yes try to look up something else, does google resolve? Go to diag, dns lookup - try some stuff in there does anything work?

                            What does your status resolver show you?
                            0_1549537902724_resolver.png

                            What does the log show is unbound actually starting and listening on 53?

                            You have pfblocker disabled right? Lets actually validate the resolver is working how it should before you try and throw pfblocker on top of it. Not able to list packages doesn't bode well for a fully functional resolver.

                            You don't have some vpn setup - what other packages are you running? This should be a clean out of the box pfsense setup!

                            You don't go throwing extra toys onto something that isn't working in the first place ;) If your ISP is dicking with DNS then you could always use forwarding mode with unbound. But lets actually validate that first, etc.

                              PfblockerNG is off. Ran DNS Lookup and no response on google or pfsense. I can still go to websites when browsing though, weird.

                              0_1549553606883_Google-no resolve.JPG

                              Status of DNS Resolver is blank too:

                              I have OpenVPN setup for access by my phone to my network. I can disable it. Used this video guide to do it on Lawrence Systems / PC Pickup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rQ-Tgt3L18&t=656s Works fine for when I need access.

                                well from that unbound is not running... So how would your clients resolve anything unless they were suing something else for dns..

                                Unbound is not working... Get unbound working before you attempt to get pfblocker working.

                                Restart unbound - what does the unbound log say. UP the log level in unbound.

                                  Already have log level at 2, do I need to go higher?

                                  Looks like it is resolving??

                                    Still trying figure this out. Unbound is stopping and starting all the time per the logs. Still have forwarder off and no DNS servers in general setup. Pfblocker is turned off. DNS resolver status blank and dnslookup doesn't resolve anything? Is my boxed just messed up or is there issue with unbound or how do I fix this?

                                      Also if you use the Service Watchdog package make sure it does not monitor unbound.

                                        @BBcan177 fixed my issue which was unrelated to pfblocker. Somehow my Pfsense became corrupted related to the unbound_control.key and unbound_server.pem. He got it to generate new ones that fixed unbound which in turn got Pfblocker working. We are not sure why it happened but he is reporting issues to them. Owe him for sure, great guy.

                                          Can you please post how you were able to get it to generate new unbound_control.key and unbound_server.pem? Mine seems to have the same issue, and it doesn't resolve itself when I restore older known working configs.
