      unbound restarted ok, without any errors, but the DNSBL was still unable to reload without the error.
      pfblockerng4.txt

      I use the IP of Pfsense whenever I log into the web GUI, not sure why it uses the domain name when logging into shell

        What other packages are you using? Bind will conflict with unbound and if you use Service Watchdog make sure it does not monitor unbound.

            Well ... I have no more clue why it doesn't reload unbound.
            Maybe disable all feeds excepts Ads ?

            What does ls -al /var/unbound look like now ?

              @RonpfS I placed the result of the rebuilt key and pem files, as well as how /var/unbound looks in my last post(out on lunch and on mobile, sorry)

              @Grimson the one thing I find odd is it just started this over the weekend, after a power outage. It has been fine for the last 6 months, without any issue. I do not have bind,and have made sure that unbound is not being monitored by service watchdog. I have the regularly installed packages like pfblockerng-devel, snort, etc.

                So did you run fsck on the filesystem? https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/troubleshooting-disk-check-errors-fsck.html#manually-run-fsck

                I have the regularly installed packages like pfblockerng-devel, snort, etc.

                There are no regularly installed packages, a regular install comes without additional packages. So always mention the packages you are using when asking for help.

                If following the above to check the filesystem doesn't work grab a config backup and do a fresh install to make sure the installation is in a good state.

                  @Grimson iplaced some screenshots from my mobile in my previouspost. Fsck says that /dev/zroot/ROOT cannot be opened since there is no file or directory present

                      It looks like it found no errors in the pool. I even ran the scrub with no errors found.

                        To be honest, from what I can see your installation is a mess. For example you have both snort and suricata installed. Best suggestion is for you to document what you are currently using (and what not). Then start with a fresh clean install, don't restore the config do the setup bit by bit yourself and watch where it breaks.

                          @Grimson I will have to do that when I get home. I guess I have been lucky in that it has worked flawlessly for the last 6 months(SInce I installed it). It was bound to break eventually. Strangely, I can still surf the internet fine(I am writing from the network that has Pfsense firewall), and use streaming services like netflix.

                            You can always try to remove pfblocker lists by unticking pfBlockerNG & Keep Settings :

                            Note: To clear all downloaded lists, uncheck these two checkboxes and 'Save'. Re-check both boxes and run a 'Force Update|Reload'

                              @RonpfS Uninstall, and then installed. This happened

                                  @themadsalvi So that is the output of a Force Update after Disabling pfblockerng and Save settings,
                                  Now when you tick both setttings, do a Force Update, then a Force Reload all.

                                    Well the feed would be empty and would not prevent rebuilding the pfb_dnsbl.conf

                                      @Gertjan I have started from zero on the pfblocker to try and rule that out.

                                      @RonpfS That is the output of fully removing and re-installing pfblocker, with the keep settings unticked.

                                        Well let us know what happens when you add a DNSBL table.

                                            @RonpfS @Gertjan @Grimson thank you, and everyone for helping out. I ended up having to re-install pfsense again. I was able to find a config backup that worked, and allowed for unbound resolver to reload correctly. Unbound and DNS resolver is working correctly now. Thank you all so much!
