      @Antibiotic Set Message Cache Size back to default (i.e., 4 MB) and try updating pfB again.

        @Antibiotic A full reboot in-between DNS Resolver config change and pfB update wouldn't hurt either.

          @tinfoilmatt Did back cache size to default , reboot pfsense and adjust pfblocker to unbound python mode. This problem still the same:
          Stopping Unbound Resolver
          Unbound stopped in 1 sec.
          Additional mounts (DNSBL python):

          Will set back to unbound mode in pfblockerNG. sECOND PROBLEM STILL EXIST AS WELL (Loading TOP1M Whitelist...

          Can not even restart unbound ( he is simply stopped and didn't react on restart) from main menu during pfblockerNG unbound python mode ON.

            @tinfoilmatt Nothing changes. The same error and unbound stopped and didnt react in this mode.

              @Antibiotic You never followed-up in this thread. Has your pfBlockerNG install been broken since then? Or did you do something at some point to resolve that issue?

                  @Antibiotic This feels like package reinstall (without saving settings) at a minimum.

                  You could try for the less drastic procedure described under Firewall / pfBlockerNG / General / Keep Settings—but it doesn't seem like that would resolve issue you're now seeing with Unbound.

                      @Antibiotic Not so fresh if you (at least) made ill-advised Unbound configuration changes.

                        @tinfoilmatt I think this soft should work at any way. Doesn't matter what we will change in unbound. But anyway this is RC not stable version, time to correct bugs still to go.

                          @Antibiotic Or it's an issue with your system configuration. I would personally have to troubleshoot your system myself to develop a hunch one way or the other.
