      Hello.
      Hope all is great.
      I'm using pfsense 2.5.2 as firewall and router for my network recently I tried to use it as dns resolver too.
      Inside the pfsense everything works perfect and I can resolve domains.
      but when it comes to dhcp clients that use pfsense as their dns servers it's not working either in dns resolver or dns forwarder.
      Firewall rules are ok too I can even see the connections from client to pfsense that are passing but the domains dont resolve on clients.

        but the domains dont resolve on clients.

        Public domains or private ones?

          Public domains, it works well for resolving private ones.

            So private host are resolved by the resolver respectively forwarder on basis of host overrides you have added?
            Makes not really sense to me.

            Some hints in the logs?
