      pfSense 23.01 & pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_3 with "unbound python mode".

      In the above state when I select "Services -> DNS Resolver" then General settings pulls up a text page of options "General DNS Resolver Options" and the page cannot be closed nor removed without editing the URL. My url is https://192.168.x.x/services_unbound.php

      This page does not allow me to move beyond it like it used to in the past versions of -devel (I only recently switched to the standard package).

      Even it this is to act as a warning that the pfSense page being blocked is purposeful because of the DNSBL mode setting I should not have to edit the url to move to a different menu page.

        @jonh Screenshot?
        The Resolver page is pfSense not part of pfBlocker. It should show the normal site menus etc.

        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.

          Thanks for your quick response.
          Sorry, I thought I saw this same sort of page in -devel but I'm obviously mistaken.

          I just disabled pfBlockerNG thinking I could access the resolver but I'm still stuck on this page, even tried reboot.

            @jonh That looks like the bottom of the page, skipping all the settings above that. Also appears to be missing formatting/CSS, unless an alt theme is being used…? Hmm, if so change to the default theme.

            Any problems while upgrading? Did you restart early by chance?

              I never changed the theme. It is pfSense although now that you have mentioned it I'll cycle through all the others.

              Any problems while upgrading?

              No, everything worked quite well. I upgraded the same day it was released.

              Did you restart early by chance?

              Not that I can recall. In fact, doesn't it just simply restart itself? My best memory is I did nothing, it just restarted. FWIW, I'm running on an SG-5100

              I've been having DNS problems and toggling back and forth between pfBlockerNG unbound & 'unbound using python' trying to figure out where my problem is.

              Last week I had toggled DNS logging to level 3. After installing the latest release of pfBlockerNG pkg I revisited the DNS page and toggled logging back to level 1. Today I started having the same issues with DNS servfails and toggled it back to level 3 again. Now, I'm getting stuck with the page display and oddly am unable to navigate away from it without editing the url path.

                @jonh ok, sometimes people wait 5-10 minutes and reboot early assuming it’s stuck.

                Browser cache??

                Re:DNS, there are a few recent threads. If you use forwarding uncheck the option to use DNSSEC. There’s also a patch because it doesn’t set the correct ACLs for IPv6 if set to listen on All interfaces.

                  I'll try that

                  Switching theme to dark did not make any difference.

                  Re:DNS, there are a few recent threads.

                  I've been reading them but not having much luck.

                  If you use forwarding uncheck the option to use DNSSEC.

                  Not using forwarding although I switched to it briefly last week trying to get a stable platform. But I've been on Resolver for quite awhile.

                  There’s also a patch because it doesn’t set the correct ACLs for IPv6 if set to listen on All interfaces.

                  Not using IPv6

                    That was it.

                    Cleared cache, logged out & closed the browser page, and then the browser itself.

                    Logged back in and the offending page popped up but allowed me to click around it and close, revealing the settings page.

                    Thanks!

                    Now on to trying to get rid of these DNS servfails that happen off & on without rhyme or reason.

                      Ask the unbound/resolver log how often unbound restarts :

                      grep 'of unbound' /var/log/resolver.log
                      

                      as, while doing so, DNS is not available for that a (small) moment.

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

                        Thank you for this idea. On the day that I posted this query there were no unbound restarts. However, this morning there were a total of 3. Here is the output of one of these restarts. It happens at time :45 seconds. I get a fair number of those outnettcp errors but not many of them precede a restart. No one was using their devices at this time so it was not noticed when it happened.

                        I'm using quad9 for dns, in general settings I have 9.9.9.9 & 149.112.112.112

                        This morning while trying to open a nytimes story (via link from mastodon) my iPad timed out after 1 minute with server didn't answer. I have confirmed that unbound did not restart at that time but have to yet isolated the exact resolver log entries during that event.

                        All that said, it appears that unbound is NOT my problem although during earlier problems restarting unbound 'fixed' it. Apparently a coincidence.

                        Does my log entries offer any ideas?

                          I'm using quad9 for dns, in general settings I have 9.9.9.9 & 149.112.112.112

                          That's for pfSense only, and irrelevant for resolving, unless you have forwarding on...which you said you didn't. If you do, you need to disable DNSSEC.
                          "DNSSEC is already enforced by Quad9, and enabling DNSSEC at the forwarder level can cause false DNSSEC failures."

                          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.

                            I have all of my clients are using pfSense for DNS although there are a few on my network where google is programed into the firmware.

                            There was no manual restart (I did do a manual restart of unbound today but not at that time) nor were any changes to client dhcp being done at that time. That said, I'll use my 7th decade age as an excuse and therefor I'll pay more attention in the future.

                            You are correct, I'm not using forwarding resolver and I am aware of the DNSSEC requirement to not be used.

                            These frequent periods of no response (hanging?) were not experienced in 22.04 and pfBlockerNG-devel.
