Unbound is blocking without having blocklist functionality enabled

[troplin]

Not exactly the same issue but possibly related:
Whitelisting also doesn't seem to work, whitelisted domains are still appearing in the top blocked domains (even months after whitelisting), just with the blocking icon next to them instead of the whitelisting icon.

Maybe there's a general problem with removing entries from the internal lookup table?

FWIW: Enabling/disabling the blocklist feature and hitting "Apply" does not change Unbound's behavior immediately - you have to restart it as well. Also, DNS caching might come into play when you test different settings.

Apart from that detail, disabling the blocklist feature works for me.

im reading you should not have to restart the service in the manual.  but

Note

Applying the blocklist settings will not restart Unbound, rather it will signal to Unbound to dynamically process the blocklists as soon as they're downloaded. There may be up to a minute of delay before Unbound has loaded everything. During this time Unbound will still be just as responsive.
