      Netgate just rolled out Version 1.25.1 of unbound. I will upgrade it with pkg upgrade. How do I restart it, in order to run the new version, without rebooting the gateway?

        @DominikHoffmann you should be able to use pfSsh.php:

        /usr/local/sbin/pfSsh.php playback svc restart unbound

        from this post: https://forum.netgate.com/post/684902
