      Diagnostics DNS Lookup
      Host "google.com" could not be resolved.
      DNS Lookup
      Hostname
      google.com
      Timings
      Name server Query time
      127.0.0.1 0 msec
      192.168.10.1 No response

      So pfSense gets no response from the stated DNS server 192.168.10.1.

      The reason won't be on pfSesne. Ensure that the server is responding or set another one in System > General Setup.
      If you want to use another, remove the check at "DNS Server Override".

        While sure he should get a response from there - out of the box pfsense would resolve, and that server doesnt' matter.

        I would say his wan going offline and not the sendto errors to his pfsense gateway 192.168.10.1 would be more of a clue that his connection isn't even working.

        Its quite possible his upstream router doesn't allow for dns to roots, etc. maybe it is doing dns interception?

          Agree. But it's also thinkable that he is running a DNS forwarder, so DNS requests from behind are going to his router.
          I would expect, that he would talking notice if his WAN is going offline.

            You would think ;) But he made no mention of it other than posting it.. That was just the latest log interies. Nor did he make any mention of changing the default unbound.

            Ya know something like I changed my unbound to forward, and its not working ;)

                  @silence issue remains after those changes.
                  @viragomann - i've unchecked the DNS Server Override with DNS server set as 8.8.8.8 but no success
                  @johnpoz @viragomann - I did notice that error of sendto 65 error and those are right after the installation. Reason I've ignored those is that I am able to ping 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 192.168.10.1 and other machines on 192.168.10.1 network. All nslookup requests are failing.
                  I've also noticed that the date & time in log files seem to be incorrect. I believe it is because of the DNS resolution issue again. pfsense is not able to synchronize the clock using ntp service in the general setup

                    @apal00 so your forwarding to your upstream router and googledns. But then you asked for 192.168.10.1

                    Try and resolve something like www.google.com or www.cnn.com etc.

                    if those does not resolve when your forwarding - then you have serious issue upstream, etc.

                    BTW having dnssec enabled while forwarding doesn't make a lot of sense, where you forward either does dnssec or it doesn't having that enabled does really nothing. It shouldn't cause you failure to resolve something like www.google.com, but its not a good setting when forwarding.

                      @Silence

                      Thank you so much for your support. I am able to resolve this issue. Root cause seems to be related to Intel i225v Intel 2.5G Nic. It seems there is an issue most likely in FreeBSD version used by pfsense 2.5.2. It is not fully supporting this nic card.

                      Steps to resolve this issue:
                      System-->Advanced -->Networking
                      Network Interfaces
                      Hardware Checksum Offloading - I had to check this box. Checking this is to disable hardware checksum offload.

                      Thank you once again,
