                  check if dns forward is causing it to stop.

                      And what is running on 53? Your not showing what pid is listing on 53..

                      Here do this.

                      sockstat | grep .53

                      example

                      [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/root: sockstat | grep .53
                      unbound unbound 33787 3 udp4 192.168.3.253:53 :
                      unbound unbound 33787 4 tcp4 192.168.3.253:53 :
                      <snipped rest for brevity>

                            So you have nothing running on port 53... And unbound wont start for why? What is in the log?

                                In the system log..

                                When you try to start the service.. disable it, and then re-enable it.
