Hi.

I've been using pfSense for many years and now I have started to migrate to OPNsense. Most stuff is well documented, but I'm struggling to find out the following: How can I verify that my blocklist in Unbound DNS is updated?

I've created a cron job, but after looking at logs in web gui and searching for various other places I'm a bit stuck. I would really like to know if the lists are updated or not, thanks.

It's been a while, so I ran a little test.
Services > Unbound > Log File. Notice level.
At the time set for the update, you'll see some info about URLs used and resulting numbers of blocks.

Example for an update to a single blocklist at 1500:
