Thank you for your response.

No, no root.key in that folder, only has two files; unbound.conf and unbound.conf.sample
They are both exactly the same, all the potential variables are commented out.

I did find the folder; '/var/unbound/'
Which does contain 'root.key', modified date is today, and has an unbound.conf which contains; 'auto-trust-anchor-file: /var/unbound/root.key'

Odd, I was hoping it would be missing that or be old, so that it would be a clear fix.

zxuilnie@opnsense:~ % unbound-anchor -a /var/unbound/root.key -l
. IN DS 20326 8 2 E06D44B80B8F1D39A95C0B0D7C65D08458E880409BBC683457104237C7F8EC8D

The root key appears to be up to date, hash matches IANA

Hi, I have previously setup a recursive Unbound DNS server before without issue, however I am new to OPNsense/BSD environments in general so apologies if I am carrying over some of my Linux assumptions with me.

I just setup a new OPNsense 23.1.7_3 box to play around with, am using it as my primary router to force me to learn, everything has been fine and setup without issue, Recursive Unbound (bar DNSSEC), multiple LANs, firewall rules, wireguard, all fine.

DNSSEC is enabled, however it doesn't seem properly configured as is.

What I expect, and what I got from my previous Unbound server in the past:

Noting the ad flag indicating DNSSEC setup successfully.

Versus what I am getting now on OPNsense:

Looking into this further, delv is giving me the below error;

Code Select Expand

$ delv opnsense.org
;; broken trust chain resolving 'opnsense.org/A/IN': 127.0.0.53#53
;; resolution failed: broken trust chain

This leads me to believe it may be an issue with the root trust anchor file (which was a 'root.key' file that needs to be regularly updated).
In my previous setup on Debian I just needed to add the following line to unbound.conf;

Code Select Expand

auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/lib/unbound/root.key"
And Unbound would keep it updated with a unbound-anchor program.

I have upped the log verbosity and still don't seem to be seeing anything in the logs with more specifics.

Any advise on where to begin with troubleshooting/trying to fix, would appreciate it. Looking into manually editing an unbound.conf file brought up references to editing via a "GUI custom box" which I couldn't find, and reference to editing an .xml file. Or generally advise on whether I should be manually editing the conf files or not. As I could find no reference to the anchor file in the GUI.

Or if anyone happens to have already come across this and knows what's needed to correct.

Many thanks.

EDIT: I should clarify, I haven't modified any of the settings under Unbound / General or Advanced, except for 'Log Level Verbosity' and Host Overrides - which is working correctly.
