Title: Are there currently any known issues with the DNS Resolver (Unbound)?
Post by: thiasaef on March 05, 2022, 11:15:11 am

Since I can no longer stand the frustration of pfSense's handling of Unbound, I would like to ask if OPNsense suffers from problems similar to the following:
- https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/5413
- https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11570
- https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12612
- https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12613

no idea.  i would make a config backup of your pf box.  install OPNSense and set it up..and try it.  I got tired of pf's constant attempts to undermine OPN and with netgate's announcement of their eventual abandonment of the community product I've made the jump..:)

Welcome at opnsense,
While setting uo your system again, maybe take a look at Adguard Home for DNS?

I think you're right and I should just give it a try. However, since OPNsense was created as a fork of pfSense, I'm concerned that it might suffer from similar issues in that regard, and I don't have any backup hardware to play around with for any length of time. Hence my caution.

Take this with a grain of salt since I never used pfsense.

People have asked if they can direct migrate their pfsense config to opnsense.

The devs (Franco et al) have said this is impossible because opnsense has diverged from pfsense greatly.

You will not know unless you try, but at this point I believe they are extremely dissimilar under the hood (pfsense bugs will not exist in opnsense and vice versa).

I have been able to use firewall examples from pfsense to do things in opnsense (open ports for nintendo switch, Call of Duty, force all DNS through unbound etc.), but you cannot copy them exactly; the config is just similar.

I use unbound and have no major issues.

Cheers,

Unfortunately, Unbound keeps crashing and crashing and crashing on me, multiple times a day. :(
I just removed my second WAN (I have a failover setup) and it's been stable for a few hours. I don't know if it's fixed. :(

@NoOne777, what do you mean when you say 'crashing'? What does the log say?
