      Hi All,

      I was wondering if I can ask for help with my light squid, I just recently installed it in my pfsense.

      After the simple or basic configuration, I tested how it worked on day one, the results were just fine in lightsquid portal.

      I noticed that there a something that is not quite right, the "real name" column is "?" and under Top Sites, it shows some "IP address" instead of a domain name.

      1. how to be not? in real name
      2. how to domain name instead of IP address

      Can you help me guys with these two concerns of mine.

      Sincerely thankful.

              I see that in DNS, it already said hostname, so I thought that it should show the it.

                @tiger-0 I have mine set for DNS and it works for me. It just does a reverse lookup on the IP with whatever DNS you have pfSense set to use. The clients have to be registered in DNS for them to resolve. This happens automatically I believe when they're DHCP clients. Static clients may need to be manually added to your DNS.

                  Yeah, if you're using pfSense for DHCP you need to set Unbound to register DHCP leases in order to resolve them.

                      @tiger-0 Services - DNS Resolver or DNS Forwarder, depending on which you use. Resolver is the default.
