      pfSense Plus 21.05 is still running Unbound 1.12.0 for its DNS Resolver. As seen in the pfSense 2.5 forums, and on Reddit, Unbound 1.13.1 fixes the issue where DHCP registration restarts the Unbound service. My appliance, an SG-2100, restarts the Unbound service anywhere from every few minutes to several times per minute. The only "fix" is to uncheck the DHCP Registration box, which is not ideal.

      Is there a roadmap or bug issue on this that can be tracked?

        @timm_zahn if you look here

        https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11316

        They had moved to 1.13 but then there was issues, so they reverted to 1.12

        If you want 1.13 you can move to dev 22.01, or wait til it releases.. Which should be this month.. per its version number ;) And per the newsletter email that went out that mentioned 22.01


        pfSense Plus 22.01 Coming Soon

        This past September we had to skip the pfSense Plus 21.09 release. We truly appreciate the community's patience and we are excited to be able to announce the arrival of pfSense Plus version 22.01 in January. The release is receiving its finishing touches before we make it available in the next few weeks. This isn't a run-of-the-mill release either, this 22.01 version of pfSense Plus software will deliver on major community requests, most notably the ability to run pfSense Plus software on third-party boxes.

            Yes you can test it in 22.01 or 2.6 if you're able to do that:

            [22.01-BETA][admin@6100.stevew.lan]/root: pkg info unbound
            unbound-1.13.2
            Name           : unbound
            Version        : 1.13.2
            Installed on   : Mon Dec 20 07:31:53 2021 GMT
            Origin         : dns/unbound
            Architecture   : FreeBSD:12:amd64

              @timm_zahn said in Unbound 1.13.x in pfSense Plus 21.05.x:

              uncheck the DHCP Registration box

              Alternately, making the lease time longer should expand/delay the restarts. DHCP renewals occur at half the lease time.

              Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
