      After I updated my SG-2440 with the patch to 2.3_1 the DNS Resolver won't start on reboot, it will start from the dashboard widget or the DNS Resolver page in services. Logs don't tell me anything but I'm including them here in case they would help someone. I don't believe it was doing this on 2.3 before the update.

      At reboot:

      May 2 15:14:23	filterdns		unable to open configuration file
May 2 15:14:00	filterdns		unable to open configuration file

      After pressing the start-service icon:

        2.3_1 changed nothing but the NTP version, which can't impact Unbound. There are potential edge case issues that date back well before 2.3 which you might be hitting just by coincidence.

        Anything from unbound in your system log? That should be where it logs if it fails to start for any reason.

          Looking at the system log I found a few instances where unbound is mentioned, the first code snip is what may be the error. I'm using Cox Cable for my ISP if that makes any difference. This is the first fiddling I've done with the SG-2440 after the initial setup about a week ago so this might well have been an existing 2.3 problem that I just hadn't activated before.

          Snip from log below, lines wrapped so it is easier to read

            That's an issue with link local IPv6 IPs that are specifically bound. If you change your binding to "all", that won't happen. That's been around on occasion for a while, it's something I'm looking into.
