      @thezfunk Updating/Re-installing pfblockerNG while it is active is prone to fail.
      Disable pfblockerNG before, update, review settings, enable, run Force Update, Force Reload All.

        Bad idea, Unbound or pfblockerNG services are not happy with it.

        Hello!

        Unbound is listed as standard option for Service Watchdog. What sort of issues are there?

            That is exactly what I did do originally. I was following the instructions laid out after other people had issues.

              You'll enter into timing critical issues, and these are, by there nature, very hard to debug.

              The service watchdog exists to create a controlled major fail of the entire system .... and have it running to the bitter (close !) end.

              See it like drilling extra holes into a sinking ship's hull to permit it to sink horizontally.
              Remember Titanic ? Evacuation on a more then 45 ° deck angle is hard.

              edit :

              0a9e7a44-8060-4191-8aa4-b39caa093964-image.png

              a core pfBlockerNG-devel file can't be found. or, per instructions, unbound needs it to start.
              It /var/unbound/pfb_unbound.py, should be there, after a pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_8 install or upgrade. Things go bad without it.

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                If the OP has Ramdisks enabled, that would wipe the /var/unbound folder and delete the Python script.

                The Pkg needs to be re-installed and RamDisk option disabled.

                  I did not but a reinstall did fix my issue.

                    I have a slight different issue
                    The py script is in place, however I get
                    File "pfb_unbound.py", line 1147, in operate if qstate_valid and pfb['safeSearchDB']: KeyError: 'safeSearchDB'

                    And unbound fails to start.

                    Playing with options for safesearch didn't do any difference

                    Disabling the python module "resolves" the issue

                    pfsense 2.5 stable, pdblockerngdevel ver 3.0.0_15

                        Can you post the contents of this file when Unbound python mode is enabled: /var/unbound/pfb_py_ss.txt

                          @bbcan177 No such file exists
                          Even tried touching and disabling - reenabling.

                          Is the file name correct?

                              @netblues Maybe save DNSBL Settings, SafeSearch Settings, Force Update / Reload ALL while monitoring pfblockerng.log.

                                So - this worked for me, but only after I’ve done a second time! After the first time I had the same issue and after doing the second time, it started working flawlessly. Odd... could be something on my end but so far, everything’s working well.

                                      You can not simply enable Python in DNS Resolver / General Settings tab, you have to do that in pfBlockerNG / DNSBL tab, then run a Force Update.
