        Doesn't work. Unbound is still down after reboot and can only be restarted after I uncheck the option "Eable Python Module".

          Increase the Resolver Log Level to "2", Save/Apply. Do you see any errors?

            Do you mean "Raw FilterLogs"? If not, where can I change the log level to level "2"?

            Regards

                1. pfBlockerNG
                  a) Change Unbound -> Unbound python mode
                  b) Save
                  c) Force Reload All
                  d) Reload hangs when restarting Unbound Resolver

                2. Switching to DNS Resolver tab after click on the logout button
                  a) Start service
                  b) Service does not start

                Resolver log:

                    I reinstalled pfBlockerNG and triggered Forced Reload-DNSBL. Everything seemed fine and DNS resolver was up with Unbound python mode.

                    Then I rebooted the box for a second check and unfortunately the resolver was down again with error "can't open file pfb_unbound.py for reading".

                      You can't use RamDisks, since the /var/ folder is wiped on reboot. Need to disable that option, and reinstall once more to get the python script back.

                          I'm looking for a little clarification regarding the unbound config changes after switching to python mode.

                          1. I've notice that unbound is unstarted after any pfBlockerNG-devel v3.x.x package updates. DNS lookups fail so I have to manually restart it.
                          2. The docs indicate to change the interface to localhost in unbound. I assume it's the "Outgoing Network Interfaces" (now set to "localhost") and not the "Network Interfaces" (currently set to "all") above it.
                          3. My DNS settings in general setup already has localhost configured (Disable DNS Forwarder is unchecked) as one of the upstream DNS servers. Do I keep this config or remove 127.0.0.1?
                            127.0.0.1
                            9.9.9.9
                            149.112.112.112
                            2620:fe::fe
                            2620:fe::9

                          So...have I made the correct changes? It seems to be working so far but want a 2nd opinion via another set of eyes to make sure I've understood the intended setup.

                                I have tried to install the latest version of PFblockerNg v3.0 however the initialisation is still running after 30 mins. Unloaded older version and tryting to load latest version but still hangs. What is the CLI to install manually please?

                                  There's no CLI command to install "pfSense"packages.

                                  What happens when you install a 'simple/small' pfSense package like 'Cron' ?

                                    Related to this:
                                    https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11398

                                    If you wait at the page it will eventually timeout. While it is in that condition, you can kill the Unbound pid and it should complete faster. Then restart Unbound post-install.

                                    pkill unbound

                                            You should click on the link, and read.
                                            You'll notice that there are no GUI examples.
                                            Its right from the first line "command line only".
                                            I advise you to read, test and report back here if you find different.
