      Enabled suppression and tried again, still the same.

      And no, the command does not execute OK:

      error: Error setting up SSL_CTX client key and cert

        Something is wrong with the Resolver installation… Leave DNSBL disabled for now, and post in the DHCP/DNS section to see how to fix that issue with the base software...

        Make sure to post what version of pfSense you are using. Or maybe try a fresh install and copy back you current config?

        Once you have the Resolver functional, then re-enable DNSBL...

          All right, thanks for your help.

          One more thing: When I ran the unbound-control command just then I was NOT logged in as admin/root, but as another user who I thought had the same rights, which does not seem to be true. Running as root gives me

          unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf status
          error: SSL handshake failed
          34386131464:error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:/builder/pfsense-232/tmp/FreeBSD-src/secure/lib/libssl/../../../crypto/openssl/ssl/s3_clnt.c:1185:

            I don't know how, but a reboot seems to have fixed it. unbound doesn't throw any errors, and DNSBL work as they should.

              I had the same problem, restart didn't work for me.

              What did help is that I disabled EasyPrivacy in DNSBL EasyList.

              Not sure why this happened exactly, but maybe it will help people out who find this topic.

                I had this same Error: Reloading Unbound… Failed to Reload... Restoring previous database.... Not completed.

                Disabling EasyPrivacy in DNSBL EasyList also worked for me.

                Using PFSense 2.4.2 p1 latest release

                  I had the same issues and found another solution:

                  Sometimes the certificates generated by ubound are not valid (by time/date/etc.).

                  Solution: delete all certificates from ubound in the folder /var/ubound/ - than restart pfsense/ubound.

                    same here,
                    after deleting

                    unbound_control.key
                    unbound_control.pem
                    unbound_server.key
                    unbound_server.pem

                    reboot everything worked no error in

                    unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf status

                      Hello, I am a beginner in pfsense, please can you tell me what are the commands to delete these files? or is there an interface to remove them?

                                @noplan Many thanks. Removing those files (dated 1969) and restarting the Unbound service worked for me
