Reboot and Unbound is down

[Qinn]

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.

@johnpoz Yes pfBlockerNG lastest develop, @BBcan177 has look at it a few times, but so far nothing.

[johnpoz]

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

[Qinn]

@johnpoz @johnpoz Logical, but I can't uninstall now tomorrow I will reboot and have a look at

/var/log/resolver.log

[johnpoz]

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 :

and you have your answer in the DNS log :

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

[johnpoz]

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