Unbound DNS will not start after upgrade this morning

[rickg3]

After upgrade this morning my Unbound DNS service refused to start. I eventually disabled it and went back to DNSMasq to get DNS going again.

This past month I had setup three sets of DNS Servers in the Custom.conf forwarding and removed the servers from General settings. It was working well and I had no problems until today when I upgraded.

Any tips on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.

server:
forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-ssl-upstream:yes
forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853   #Quad9
forward-addr: 149.112.112.112@853   #Quad9
forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853   #CloudFlare
forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853   #CloudFlare
forward-addr: 8.8.8.8@853   #Google
forward-addr: 8.8.4.4@853   #Google

I can't believe I am the only person that had this?

When you type in unbound under the System -> Settings -> Logs (backend / General) what do it return at the time stamp when you try to reactivate unbound?

No need custom options, just type your servers in Miscellaneous

Unbound Services log has following : [29349:1] info: generate keytag query _ta-4f66. NULL IN

Nothing in general log.

Note: above entry from Sep 25 when upgraded, no other logs and unbound refuses to start no matter how configured.

FWIW, I have the same log entry.

That said, when I check the function of Unbound (or better put the DNS server, meaning me, using GRC Spoof)....everything comes back fine....

Does the service show up as running in dashboard?

Here is an explanation of the message. https://lists.nlnetlabs.nl/pipermail/unbound-users/2018-March/005110.html

Have you tried starting unbound via command line to see what kind of error it returns?
