      No don't use Service Watchguard for either.

      Do you have any of the Unbound DHCP registration checkboxes enabled? If so, disable those.

        So how do I find out what's making it dies on reboot ?

          Nope only Enable DNSSEC Support is ticked.
          Network interface is set to ALL
          Outgoing interface is set to WAN

          I do have Host Overrides for a local domain (not the local domain of pfense), including the WAN IP of the firewal (it is behind my present pfsense box)

            Increase the Unbound log verbosity and see if it shows any further details.

              Increased to level 2 first reboot unbound is running
              2nd reboot, unbound is not running nothing in the resolver.log for this reboot, only things from last session.
              Nothing in system.log nor dmesg.boot

              Remove all hosts overrides, set level to 5

                Here is the error:

                Dec 9 01:04:36 php: rc.bootup: The command '/usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was '[1449641076] unbound[30851:0] debug: creating udp6 socket :: 53 [1449641076] unbound[30851:0] error: bind: address already in use [1449641076] unbound[30851:0] fatal error: could not open ports'

                Looks like it tried to start Unbound but it was already started as the port was opened already… Don't really have any other help to offer at this moment... Keep an eye on the logs and see if something else comes up...

                  It always start the Resolver twice even on a fresh install with no package installed.

                  I tried to open the /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.conf 58.9MB in the pfblocker logs tab and it only say Loading file…. nothing appears.

                  Trying to open it with File Manager gives me :

                  Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 123487193 bytes) in /usr/local/www/packages/filemgr/file_manager.php on line 411

                  I can download it and nothing seems abnormal.

                  I got this crash report :

                  It is a 2GB P4 Prescott …

                  In the pfBlocker/Log browser there is no dnsbl.log or error.log
                  In /var/log/pfblockerng/ there is a file dnsbl_error.log , doesn't tell much.

                  Is-it possible to revert to version 2.0.1 ? Didn't had that issue on a much slower laptop with 2.0.1.

                    I have found some false positives in the iblocklist lists, for example if you preform a dns lookup to "fractal-design.com" (case builder) it would return 62.116.130.8 that if you search https://www.iblocklist.com/search?string=62.116.130.8 if gives a lot of lists (Malicious, Tracking, etc) can it be outdated?

                      FPs need to be reported to whomever maintains the blocklist. Or just stop using iBlock lists altogether.

                      I found idiocy like eicar.org on multiple "malware" blocklists. Sigh. Also, people will happily add entire CDN servers (Amazon, etc.) there. Some people just should get out of the blocklist business, stupidity everywhere.

                        I've been getting a lot of false positives in iblock lists, they seemed like a good blacklist provider. What lists are people using in IP and Hosts?

                        Thank You all

                          Maybe it has something to do with IPv6? as the error has a udp6 socket shown.

                            Maybe it has something to do with IPv6? as the error has a udp6 socket shown.

                            I changed the LAN IPv6 Configuration Type from Track Interface to none
                            that solved the unbound crashing  ;D

                            As the WAN DHCP didn't provide DHCP6 IP, the LAN IPv6 ip was:

                            IPv6 Link Local fe80::1:1

                            this is probably better not to assign LAN IPV6 ip.

                            now I get :
                            IPv6 Link Local fe80::1e7e:e5ff:fe1f:fad5

                            Thanks for opening my noob eyes  ;)

                              pfBlockerNG (Bootstrap conversion) has been submitted to the devs.

                              https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/24

                              If you guys get a chance, I would recommend testing out the latest pfSense v2.3 snapshot as its expected to go Beta soon along with the packages….

                              2.3 Testing feedback here:

                                on the DNSBL FEEDS , below on the page have Custom Block List,
                                I've added some domains there but I can still access them even they are on the block list .
                                how is this possible ?

                                  When you add to an existing custom list, you need to select the "Update custom list" setting at the bottom of the page. Otherwise the list is only updated as per the Alias frequency setting.

                                    I know this has been brought up before but I don't think I've seen a resolution. Is there a way around having the SSL certificate error on some pages with the DNSBL enabled?

                                      Can you post the URL(s) that you are having issues with, or send them to me via PM? Also what browser are you using?

                                        pfBlockerNG (Bootstrap conversion) has been submitted to the devs.

                                        https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/24

                                        If you guys get a chance, I would recommend testing out the latest pfSense v2.3 snapshot as its expected to go Beta soon along with the packages….

                                        2.3 Testing feedback here:
                                        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?board=65.0

                                        The pkg was merged last night for pfSense 2.3 … Would appreciate any Feedback. Please post feedback to the 2.3 forum thread.

                                          Hi,

                                          Thanks BBcan177 for v 2

                                          I'm testing it, upgrade with no problem.

                                          On DNSBL I use your tutorial list and four custom domains:
                                          facebook.com
                                          youtube.com
                                          terra.com.br
                                          terra.com

                                          I get Alerts but not block the sites (1.jpg)

                                          On ipv4 lists I get facebook.com blocked using Whois/AS number. With Whois/Domain name didn't work.

                                            Hi heliop100,

                                            In regards to DNSBL, make sure that the LAN devices only use pfSense as its DNS server. You probably also needed to add www.facebook.com etc to your domain list.

                                            Since facebook uses several different IPs, using its AS number would be required instead of just the domain name when using the IP block settings.
