Can you tick enable and apply several times?

Oh yes, I did. Even with a reboot between ticking and unticking. It takes a lot longer to "save" changes when unticking the enable box as it is downloading the list.

What I ended up doing is backing up populated /var/unbound/etc/dnsbl.conf, ticking the box and restoring /var/unbound/etc/dnsbl.conf. This seems to hold after reboot, but probably not a long term fix.

I have the strangest issue with DNSBL on 20.7.2. Seems that the "enable" checkbox under Services: Unbound DNS: Blacklist is reversed.

When the "enable" checkbox is checked:

1.  /var/unbound/etc/dnsbl.conf is empty
2. /var/unbound/etc/lists.inc has my list source from https://block.energized.pro/ultimate/formats/domains.txt


When the "enable" checkbox is UNchecked:

1.  /var/unbound/etc/dnsbl.conf is populated with entires from https://block.energized.pro/ultimate/formats/domains.txt
2. /var/unbound/etc/lists.inc is blank


Seems that entries from https://block.energized.pro/ultimate/formats/domains.txt resolve to localhost only when the "enable" checkbox is UNchecked. However, when it is checked we resolve names to actual addresses.

Is this expected? Something seems amiss.

Thank you folks!
