I thought you wanted me to check the RPZ zone configuration file referred to in the 'include' message so this is it? File is there, why isn't the firewall working?
It's working now, not sure what was going on before. Thanks for your help.

How do I make the Graphical Display option sticky? After I enable it, later when the router reboots, that option goes back to disabled, requiring me to go back into amtm to reenable it. But for the time that it is off, I do not have statistics, even if I do an Update Stats.
Update: I tried 3.23bC to see if it fixed this problem but it did not. Is there something I need to add to a config file to have this option enabled after a reboot?

The stable version v3.22 was last updated 10 months ago.

You cannot retrieve the dev version via amtm, you will need to manually issue

I have a doubt, that unbound_manager does not save the cache properly.
The larger the cache gets, the lesser is saved when "rs".

v3.22 is what I'm running - wasn't trying to go to dev version, just checking my "up-to-dateness"
Tried a 'u' in amtm again just now and the error is gone...must've been a github hiccup
I know it has been a while since an update - that's why I check on a regular basis for everything - to make sure that I've the latest release versions. the event I experienced caused me to ponder the possibility you were pushing a new version

NOTE: As stated in the
unbound-control manualI have stated in previous posts, that to eliminate any possibility of stale/invalid cache entries being restored, ideally the 'debugging' Cache load feature should really be removed from
unbound_manager in favour of a custom cache seeding script that is invoked when starting unbound but currently for most users it works and provides a benefit.However, your doubt's valid, the reported restored Cache metrics is technically correct but clearly misleading, consequently I have uploaded
unbound_manager Beta v3.23bC to the Github dev branch to correct the report - i.e. the restored cache metric is not actually 0.To Upgrade/test use

e = Exit Script [?]

Starting seeing adds after rebooting router so decide to troubleshoot.
Now looks like unbound won’t start. rs hangs at this message. @Martineau

Which version of
unbound_manager are you running?3.23bB

I can't immediately think of anything in Beta v3.23bX that can/would impact/influence the external NTP sync (nor indeed the S61unbound script)
Hopefully the router is showing the correct time, and
nvram get ntp_ready = 1 when the rs command fails?Presumably you have rebooted and
unbound still fails to start because nvram get ntp_ready = 0 ?Perhaps you can search the 'Failed to sync NTP thread' and try the suggested workarounds?
Started working after another reboot. Yes I did reboot before. Yes nvram get ntp_ready = 1 when it failed to restart. I will do some more research as saw NTP fail message in skynet logs just before but unbound is working fine now and yes router time was also correct.
@Martineau
Sorry, me again.
I still think, that unbound_manager isn't restoring all of the saved cache, see:
The numbers of the restore are way lower then the saved ones.
I'm using unbound_manager 3.23bC

<sigh>
This has been discussed ad nauseam, and I repeat is outside of my control
.i.e. You can manually (outside of
unbound_manager) dump/restore the unbound cache using the debugging commands and there is inevitably a drop in the number of reported cached entries.IMHO I'm not sure that 'way lower' is an appropriate statement
i.e.
msg cache has reduced by 19.1%
rrset cache has reduced by 6.3%
based on your reported metrics shown below:

I've made some research whitelisting monster.com in Slynet and disabling it at all. No result. Seems unbound fails to ressolve the host for some reason.
Can it be caused on my home IP basis? Because installation in other country really works well.
If so - how to overcome it?
