      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.

              unbound_control.pem
              unbound_server.key
              unbound_server.pem

              reboot everything worked no error in

                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
