DNSSEC on pfSense
-
No problem. shit happens. I'll give it a new try tomorrow. Thanks for your great work!
Tried again, but now i'm having that same problem:
libevent-1.3e could not download.
Cannot install unbound. -
Yeah. Still having the libevent problem, too…
-
I was looking at the freebsd-ftp and the only libevent is libevent.tgz, which is libevent-1.4.13.tbz.
I installed it manually, but didn't help. -
today i install unbound package …
still libevent-1.3e could not download.here full message on package install :

i really appreciate for provide this package -
Can you try one more time (I just uploaded a freshly recompiled set of packages) and if that fails, try to do this:
pkg_delete -f openssl-1.0.0_2And then try to reinstall Unbound (Or maybe hit the 'x' to delete it and then re-add it from the list)
-
Great! Installation works! I'm so excited!!! Thanx a lot!!
edit: second note) unbound works great! ping of hosts inside my LAN works. Name resolution is somewhat slower than before, but thats no problem…
last edit: Borat smiles into my face...
:-)
-
Thanks jimp! Now the install works and also a DNSSEC Test works. But I cannot ping hosts by name on my LAN. Everything works great from the pfSense box itself (eg. ping by name to every host), but not from my LAN hosts. I am only able to ping pfSense.domain.lan but no other hosts from my iMac on LAN.
I also clicked save on the Unbound tab more than once…
-
Ok. I can see in the unbound.conf that my hosts do not get written into it. Also I want Unbound to listen on three interfaces but it only listens on my main LAN. So WLAN cannot be used at the moment…
Any ideas? I really have checked all three interfaces on the Unbound tab...
-
Ok I gather nothing has changed in your config that you sent me originally, so let me check and I'll come back to you tomorrow.

Are you using forwarders or letting Unbound do all the name resolution? Also, is it slow just the 1st time or all the time?
-

Yeah, nothing changed in my config. How should I actually use these static dns mappings? Before it was done by dnsmasq and now with Unbound it says that I shouldn't activate the forwarder when using DNSSEC. So how should I configure this?
-
The forwarder is disabled. Unbound does all the job. As i can say - very subjective opinion - it was only the first call, say some minutes slow with every DNS-query, but then its mostly like before. I'm happy. Thats the best description of the actual state.
You did a really great work! Thanx again!
-
yup … give it try for now ...
resolve more faster than before@igor ...
can isee your syslog when firs time boot ?thanks

You can use the static dns mappings, its just the upstream DNS servers (forwarders) that it says you should ideally not use unless you are certain that they handle DNSSEC correctly. These static DNS mappings will be created as as local-zone in unbound and the relevant A and PTR record will be configured included a TXT record if you supplied a description.
So a simple dig zone @pfsense_ip will return the A record and a dig -x IP @pfsense_ip will return the PTR record. Likewise can be done for a TXT record.
Hope that answers your question.

If someone is interested in measuring DNS performance: http://code.google.com/p/namebench/
Just uncheck the other servers that are included by defalt, then do the test on your pfSense IP :)
It should give some numbers to compare the overall performance…

Who else here has multiple interfaces and has Unbound listening on them all?
Also anyone here with domain overrides (Services->DNS Forwarder) specified? If so are they working? -
Ok domain overrides are working. I still need to add an option for DNS Rebinding (enabling/disabling) as that was affecting domain overrides.
Currently it is enabled by default.Besides @jlepthien's problem of multiple interfaces been selected and for some unknown reason not been saved - any other requests/problems?
-
hi wagonza, on my side its running fine and stressless. Really a good thing of Software you created! Thanks a lot!!!
I don't have multiple gateways here to test that special funktions. -
Now it is working for me. I found the problem why he wasn't saving all my interfaces to the conf…
When I looked at the logfile I saw the following:
Dec 15 11:59:58 voldemort unbound: [9464:0] error: Could not open autotrust file for writing, /usr/local/etc/unbound/root-trust-anchor: Read-only file systemI am on embedded so I just mounted / rw and then clicked save. I guess you just have to implement the mounting rw on embedded with the Unbound package and everything should be fine then…
