Try disabling DNS Resolver and enable DNS Forwarder in the Services drop down..

See if that makes a difference..

@lawrence1986 so your saying 2 laptops on your network behind pfsense work?

@chpalmer why would that matter - clearly pfsense is resolving it, via what he just posted.

So some pc can not load the login page on the website?

If got to their website, then click the little user icon in the top right I go to the sigin url - and sure seems load.. Your saying you can not do that on most of your machines - but 2 laptops can?

[lawrence1986]

@johnpoz well I wasn't using the laptops normally we only use them when we travel but I just checked just for curiosity sake and it does the exact same thing that the 4 desktops do nothing cant get on rockstar

@lawrence1986 Open Command Prompt on any of the PCs that won't resolve the domain and run:

nslookup signin.rockstargames.com

pfsense can go out via the DNS set on /system.php and completely bypass its own resolver. Ive had similar issues in the past that I was able to fix by doing what I suggested..

@lawrence1986 Is there a reason you ignore all our recommendations and do whatever comes to mind?

[lawrence1986]

@rcoleman-netgate Your recommendation hasn't gotten me any closer to my issue. half the things you asked. I did it a few days ago. You'd think I'd been waiting for a response for a week. Nah, I was just googling these forms, searching until I had no choice but to connect with you, which, to be honest, shouldn't be this difficult; it should be as simple as it sounds: install, run, and enjoy. but since I'm in a wonderful mood, keep asking me questions; maybe we will find the problem. Perhaps we will, or perhaps I am sol. Who really knows?

[rcoleman-netgate]

@lawrence1986 Ok so the DNS call is looked up and found via NSLOOKUP but your computer appears to be ignoring that.

ipconfig /all

And just the output for your primary connection on this computer (ETH or WiFi, whichever).

Also you can do a packet capture on the pfSense (Diagnostics->Packet Capture) on your interface filtered to just your test PC's IP address and you can further filter to UDP port 53 (to limit only to DNS requests) and see where it is going -- if the request ever gets to the pfSense interface).

What I suspect is that something else is taking your request and doing something to it.

Actually reading your other post you just put up.. (please refrain from cross posting..)

Since you are on Charter I am going to guess you are using a modem with the Puma6 chipset inside it.. Can you verify please?

Also- Can you get here? https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/

Surely you mean to tag @lawrence1986 but that post is from 3 days ago -- it just happens to be that @stephenw10 replied to it.

[lawrence1986]

@chpalmer I cannot because I don't know how,, but I can grab the make and model, and I'm sure you know what you're looking for: Motorola TM1602A MTA It's no spectrum game, spec sheet, or anything. you know how IPS work drill a few holes punched in a few letters and numbers and here's your internet

Motorola TM1602A

https://approvedmodemlist.com/intel-puma-6-modem-list-chipset-defects/

That is an older modem. Are you renting it? Sending UDP through an unpatched modem can cause the spikes you are seeing..

[lawrence1986]

@rcoleman-netgate ok i did that i started that test and now its making since that's a very good chance that could be happening

[lawrence1986]

@chpalmer Ummm kinda ish, they give these out for free kinda until I stop my service then i have to return it I can get an upgrade they told me that a week ago when i called them so that maybe an ideal

[chpalmer]

@lawrence1986

Get em to give you a docsis 3.1 model..

[lawrence1986]

@chpalmerI called them, and they said there is no access to the modem; I can't get in, and they can't either, so I'm just taking their word for it, which is "straight internet." Nothing should be working, and the only thing they can do is reactivate it. But on the other hand, I really can't take their word for it either.

[lawrence1986]

@chpalmer I think that's all their new models anyways the other issue is I have no idea which one is better than the other nor do I know what models they are offering

[lawrence1986]

@chpalmer how do i get these packets to ya?
