Title: Should I update root.hints for Unbound?
Post by: ideal2545 on February 07, 2021, 10:04:51 am

Hi All,

Very new to opnsense...

I noticed that the latest roots.hints available from ftp://FTP.INTERNIC.NET/domain/named.cache was updated last on Jan 11th, 2021 but the default roots.hints file that comes with OPNSense is from July 9th, 2018. Would it be a good idea to update it, and if so is there a best way to do it?

It seems the content of the files is identical, so what would it be the benfit ?

Anyway, you can update it this way:

Code: [Select]

curl "ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache" -o /var/unbound/root.hints
