Hi All,

I recently installed the blacklist option within Unbound using "pkg install os-unbound-plus-devel". However, every time i attempt to enabled it and select a few DNS Blacklist sources it crashes unbound.

unbound: fatal error: Could not set up local zones
unbound: error: local-data in redirect zone must reside at top of zone, not at srv-2018-01-25-08.pixel.parsely.com A 0.0.0.0

Is this an issue with the blacklist file or my configuration of Unbound?


I do have some custom options set in the "General" tab.

I use the mostly to include additional blacklist lists, EG: include: "/var/unbound/conf.d/social_media.conf"


Removing the lines from the advanced section worked.

However, i still had unbound crashing but this was due to the Blacklists selected. "EMD Malicious Doamins" list and all "HPHosts" lists crash unbound due to

error: local-data in redirect zone must reside at top of zone, not at somedomain.com A 0.0.0.0
