Log spam pakond

Since one one of the last updates my syslog is getting spammed by pakond (seems to be some part of parental control). Is it possible to disable this debug messages to keep the log clear?

I just pushed a patch that makes pakond logs less verbose, it’s in test branch now.

This problem should be solved as soon as we will release new version of Turris OS.

I also had these messages, and noticed that when doing two DNS requests simultaneously for A and AAAA records, they would be blocked. After the DNS timeout and retry, both requests went through correctly.

“Single” A or AAAA queries were not affected.

Disabling pakond solved my problem. I’m not sure that I’ll have the time to pinpoint the source of the issue, but at least it will help someone with the same issue.
