      Hello forum

      Netgate 7100U
      22.05-RELEASE (amd64)

      We just purchased a new firewall and the DNS Resolver shows errors. Also, clients can't reach domain names when the pfSense is set as DNS-server. We configured external DNS-servers on the clients for now and the problem (for them) is gone. I believe the error messages below and the DNS issues on the clients are somehow connected.

      We have several pfSense firewalls running and none of them shows this behavior. Could you please point me in the right direction here? :) Thank you very much!

      Cheers,
      Kris

        @kkris It works out of the box…. Post your DNS Resolver settings?
        Any firewall rules that might affect DNS/port 53/TCP or UDP?
        If it’s new and you haven’t changed much you could always make a backup and try Diagnostics/Factory Defaults.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Does that site have IPv6 where the others do not?

            Hello

            Sorry for the very late reply and thanks so much for your input.

            @stephenw10 I deactivated IPv6 on the WAN interface and the errors are gone now. Thanks again!

            Kind regards and have a nice weekend :)
            Kris

              @kkris That was so simple - I have spend all day trying to figure it out - then did what you suggested and bang ... fixed. Cheers
