      @fireodo My 2.7.2CE install is also currently on unbound-1.18.0_1

      [2.7.2-RELEASE][root@fw.local.lan]/root: pkg search unbound
      unbound-1.19.1                 Validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver
      [2.7.2-RELEASE][root@fw.local.lan]/root: pkg info | grep unbound
      unbound-1.18.0_1               Validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver
      

      When might it pull in the updated package, other than explicit upgrade via the cmdline?

        @Unoptanio said in Problem with DNS resolver:

        What version of pfsense is Unbound 1.18.0_1 from?

        I guess 2.7.1 (not shure)

        I have a script (see attachment - change .zip to .php) that looks via cronjob if there are some updates. (The script is from @Gertjan if I remember well) pkg_check.zip
        The cronjob looks loke this:

        /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/php -q /root/bin/pkg_check.php | logger
        

        Edit: In my case the location of the script is in /root/bin (directory I have created) - put the script in your case where you wish ...

        Tanti auguri :-)

          So is it a bug in 2.7.2 that doesn't update unbound DNS?

            No thats not a bug - if some changes where needed in unbound that occure AFTER release of 2.7.2 thats the only way to handle it - as far as I know!

            PS.: Is unbound still restarting?

                  See my answer with the script inside - this kind of upgrade you have to do manually.

                    @fireodo Thanks, I'd completely forgotten about this. It seems on my system, unbound and curl have updates available.
                    Still I think I am going to leave it as is as things are running very smoothly for me of late.

                      Never change a running system ... old wisdom 😀
                      (curl has a security issue so I recommend to upgrade)

                          That's unbound in permanent restart mode !
                          You can stop that now, as the test succeeded.

                          To stop the testing :
                          Uncheck :

                          1f41ac53-2bb6-431e-8c5a-dccf4c3d70f0-image.png

                          Save, and Apply.

                          ( I'm trying a new solution to a 10+ year old question )

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

                            Do you have the register dhcp-leases in dns resolver (as gertjan indicates) on?

                                Run pkg upgrade to check if there are any updated system packages available.

                                We build newer versions of packages if they are available with fixes for specific issues that users may be hitting. They are then available to upgrade to but these are not expected or required upgrades.

                                In the instance that upgrades are required for security issues we would usually either issues an announcement or a point release of pfSense depending on the severity.

                                I would not expect the Unbound version to be the issue here. But it also doesn't hurt to update it and it's an easy test. 😉

                                    Yup, you can upgrade curl. But not upgrading it should not be an issue.

                                        And it's still just continually restarting?

                                        Is there anything in the main system log that's looping? Something else could be restarting Unbound.

                                          I stopped the service and restarted it and it worked right away.

                                          But in the service list it always showed it running green even when it's not working

                                            And in the main system log?
