      On a newly install pfsense 2.4.1, I am unable to enable unbound as I get an error like:

      The following input errors were detected:
      The generated config file cannot be parsed by unbound. Please correct the following errors:
      [1509176339] unbound-checkconf[63698:0] error: syntax error: cannot parse address: 2a02:8010:6666:33::/48 router.localdomain
      /var/unbound/test/host_entries.conf:10: error: local-data-ptr could not be reversed
      read /var/unbound/test/unbound.conf failed: 1 errors in configuration file

      Yes, I do have IPv6 enabled and working.

        Somewhere you have entered a subnet when it should be a single host address.

        You can't resolve a hostname to an entire network, and that's what it appears to be trying to do, either unintentionally or accidentally.
