DNS Resolver not resolving part 1234
-
I dont use Pfblockerng, so that could not be the case here.
When i reboot the system, and look at the log i can only see that it is started, and stopped at the same time, and then restarted.
And then no stop ever. -

And then no stop ever.
So, its running ?
Test with these 4 :ps ax | grep unbound
top
sockstat | grep 'unbound'
dig @127.0.0.1 netgate.com

When i check all the packages :
pkg upgrade

grep -E 'start | stopped' /var/log/resolver.log
they should pair up by the pid
Dec 2 00:31:05 name unbound[26560]: [26560:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.18.0). Dec 4 00:31:02 name unbound[26560]: [26560:0] info: service stopped (unbound 1.18.0).
a restart would typically look like
Nov 30 03:05:48 name unbound[48588]: [48588:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.18.0). Nov 30 03:05:48 name unbound[48588]: [48588:0] info: service stopped (unbound 1.18.0). Nov 30 03:05:48 name unbound[48588]: [48588:0] notice: Restart of unbound 1.18.0. Nov 30 03:05:51 name unbound[48588]: [48588:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.18.0).
if you have a lot of open starts without a stop, something else is happening. (but don't look at the date/time you do a system update)

What repos are you using on your PFSense device??
-
What? - the official Netgate ones -- you should never go to any other repo for updates or packages.
Maybe I'm not understanding your question?

@jrey
I asked that because of the Unbound 1.8.0.1 version you wrote about in the other article.
I only got 1.18.0 version so i was wondering if that had something to do with the repos. -

Ah
The unbound 1.18.0_1 was slipstreamed into the release package after it was first released. (so was curl) as discussed in the thread referenced.
however as noted even on the system that was updated after that original release (and therefore would have received the updated versions) unbound still reports itself as 1.18.0 in both the logs and when you do a "unbound -V" - the system's update log in that case says 1.18.0_1 was installed
on that system the file's time stamp does reflect that it was from the 9th build, suggesting it should be 1.18.0_1, it just doesn't report that.
-
@henkbart there was a new version of unbound that you could get via pkg update and then upgrade.. But that was pushed in the latest 23.09.1 but it doesn't really show that if you just do a version on unbound.

I don't recall ever having any issue where unbound just wouldn't resolve, but was still running.. And sure haven't seen as of late.. A good test might be to try and resolve something just local.. say your pfsense fqdn via your fav local tool, nslookup, dig, host, doggo, etc.. Does that work, just not external? Its best to use a cmd line tool because then you can see the actual response from unbound, be it NX or servfail, refused, etc.

This is the one I was talking about when I mentioned the Resolver "DHCP Client Registration" check box, the option you don't have (under Services > DNS Resolver > General Settings) as you are running Kea ..... as in that case the option doesn't show up.
Is this correct, are you using Kea ?
Or Dhcpd ?If you are using kea, you should see this :
If you are using kea, this process "/usr/local/sbin/dhcpleases" can not - should not exist.
As this is the one that shoots unbound in the face every time ..... see above.edit :
You have this :
== kea DHCP checked ?
-
Lucky you,
But there are a lot of people having troubles with it, including me.
That makes it difficult to pinpoint the location of the problem.... -
@Gertjan
Yes i have the Kea DHCP enabled. -
Can you re confirm that this one :
= dhcpleases process - maybe it has another pid now - is still running ?
-

@henkbart said in DNS Resolver not resolving part 1234:
Lucky you,
But I think the point being made by both myself and @johnpoz is that is not likely a unbound issue as such.
many people do indeed report problems and when doing so they are assuming it to be unbound because that is what they see. But that is generally not the root cause..
They see the effect, not the cause.unbound generally just works. Right out of the box.
That's all we are saying.
@Gertjan is giving you some good advice on things to look for. including the current path you are on: re: DHCP.
edit: however if DHCP is causing the issue, you'd likely see a stream of unbound restarts and you say they are not there in the log.
