Unbound control port config

[markster]

Wanted to confirm the remote-control port issue.
When executing unbound-control relaod I receive the error

Checking the configuration file and it should be port 953.

Is there aomething else I dont know or its internal to some other configuration?

@markster Since Unbound runs chrooted, need to specify the full-path config file with the command:

"unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf reload"

@tinfoilmatt Yeah, your r correct. I thought by default the config file would be read. Thankx

@markster said in Unbound control port config:

I thought by default the config file would be read.

And you were / are correct.
Be aware of this : if you didn’t supply the path of unbound config file when you use unbound-control, the default file and 'place' will be used :

[26.03-RC][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/root: ll /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 57194 Feb  3 09:31 /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf

The thing is : this is a default file, not used by pfSense (and unbound).
The real unbound config file is here :

/var/unbound/unbound.conf

Use

unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf ......

Btw : make live way easier : use the console or SSH access
