      Hi everybody

      I've setup pfBlockerNG now and it's working mostly fine. One remaining issue I have is that I consistently get a handful of DNS resolution failures of our monitoring (https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma) when DNSBL reloads happen. Is this normal? Shouldn't an unbound reload leave DNS in a working state?

      Is there a way to make DNS work without interruption or is this a bug?

      thanks,
      Rainer

        @rvjr On pfSense unbound generally restarts. See
        https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/5413

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: 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 restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
