      Every time I do a reboot, let's say after a bios update, unbound is down and I have to do start the service from the GUI. I did a

      sockstat
      

      but I can't find anything ? Any help or direction is appreciated.

      Cheers Qinn

        Well if unbound did not start, then no it wouldn't be listening.. What does the unbound log say. Are you trying to run say bind or dnsmasq at the same time? Are you running pfblocker? I see you are from your sig - that can dick with start and startup time of unbound for sure.

        Up the log level of unbound if more info is needed.

            Well if you uninstall pfblocker does unbound start - what is in the unbound log?

                you should be able to just view the unbound log in the gui on pfsense..

                  Your right at the moment only 500 logs, the last reboot is not present and I like the CLI ;)

                    Without a DNS - resolver or forwarder - running, you pfSense setup is pretty ..... useless.

                    Click on the button :

                    7dfef54f-befd-45d9-9926-58f9547b9ac8-image.png

                    and you have your answer in the DNS log :

                    2a1a7dff-02e1-4f71-8bac-ce5d4f05f689-image.png

                    and if it doesn't start, you'll be seeing details about why ...

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

                      so your saying the log is completely empty with clog? pfsense uses circular logs - you need to view them from cli with clog.
