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

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

@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

That is an older modem. Are you renting it? Sending UDP through an unpatched modem can cause the spikes you are seeing..
-
@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
-
@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
-
Get em to give you a docsis 3.1 model..
-
@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.
-
@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
-
@chpalmer how do i get these packets to ya?
-
@lawrence1986 I assume you mean that for me from my suggestion of running a PCAP.
Just send a screen shot of the result.
If you are going to take photos with your cell phone please try not to make them full-size images -- even on my 24" screen those are very difficult to read at full size. Screenshots are super easy in Windows using the Snipping Tool (that's still a thing in 10, I think...). -
@rcoleman-netgate Can I just start this thing, stop it then just download the capture and send it to you? I haven't done this before because I didn't know what I was looking at
-
@lawrence1986 Run the capture and see if it even captures anything and we'll go from there. No need to make this more complicated.
-
@lawrence1986 It gave me a big, fat goose egg. I'm just going to snapshot some photos here so that way you can tell me if I'm doing it right.!
-
@lawrence1986 So, as I noted, that means your requests aren't even going to pfSense.
But I asked you to run
ipconfig /alland show us what your computer's settings are set to. If you're not calling pfSense for DNS (you could have it configured for that but your browser is using DNS over HTTPS or DoH) and that will not show up on UDP53.
Again I will comment that your photos are WAY BIG and hard to read. Please consider using Snipping Tool or another screen cap program instead of a cell phone camera.
