Help to troubleshoot a pihole (with unbound)... - eviltoast

Hi guys!

So, it seems I’m getting again stuck with my pihole, seems it might not resolve domains I know that are new to it… So, if I try to visit the website from my browser (firefox or ungoogle chromium), it gets a DNS failure. Same with a nslookup. But if I connect to the pihole and do a: dig saigoneer.com @127.0.0.1 -p 5335 I get the full response and resolution. But even in the pihole, attempting nslookup saigoneer.com will fail. Any idea what can I try next?

Thanks!

    Welp…Not sure what was wrong, but seems to now be resolving again. I…restored a few previous backups to no avail, rebooted to no avail…and after just giving up and upgrading, and rebooting…now it seems to work again. And I still have no idea how to troubleshoot this if it ever happens again :(

      This is the reason I stopped unbound. My unbound worked great for years. Suddenly I got this weird issue that was no one could understand why. And after a week of trying to trouble it just decided to work and kept going happily.
