        @guile said in Error: dns_probe_started:

        uptime: 7006 seconds

        So its only been running for not even 2 hours.. Did you on purpose restart it for something..

        I would check that, next time you have a problem.. Did unbound just restart.. that should just run and run and run.. I have seen mine run for months without a restart, etc. My restarts when I restart it for say adding a host override or something, etc.

          @johnpoz yea, I manually restarted when the error occurred. ill check the uptime, next time when the error appear. But probably is not the case, because when the error appears takes like 5 minutes to internet comes back. And a service restart takes like 10 seconds.

            @guile add it into GUI under custom options inside DNS resolver towards the bottom. Let me know if it fixes it. For me all the sudden I had all my machines trying to connect to AAAA records (IPv6) again I only have IPv4 from my ISP, so it will not connect to any IPv6 urls. No big deal most all have IPv4

                @guile Hello, just curious what you use include: /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.*conf for, is this for pf blocker? I am using squid guard that is why I asked.

                I have a monster list of DoH servers I block with Squidguard.

                  @guile Let us know if this fixes the intermittent issues. I use to never have this problem before, that custom option fixed it. Furthermore, I can still access everything I need every website I need has both IPv6 and IPv4 so its not a big deal for me.

                    The line:

                    var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.*conf 
                    

                    Is auto generated by pfBlocker. Why u dont use pfBlocker to block DoH? You dont need to have a huge list, just check the list and u good. Like this:
