        Is it because these are not actual hostnames here?

          @terryzb do you have TLS enabled? If so try disabling it. If you are forwarding DNS disable DNSSEC.

          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.

            Wrong tests always give wrong answers :

            90d32aa0-6a80-405e-a4ac-6c6b0795b2a1-image.png

            Good test :

            6e8962b0-35ad-40e7-8a02-f9e07914bc24-image.png

            krk.kargoo.com = does not exist.

            The right colom doesn't say : fill in some random description.
            It says :
            Hostname
            Enter the DNS Server Hostname for TLS Verification in the DNS Resolver (optional).

            = If you use TLS, enter the host name of 8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9
            No TLS ? You can leave (should ?) these empty.
            That will be :
            dns.google one.one.one.one and dns9.quad9.net

            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Yeah, you entered a url and it must be a hostname there.

              But also that hostname doesn't resolve. Not a pfSense issue.

                  IDK I have done new Clean installs it works fine if i just use my Linksys router

                  can I sent you my backup settings?

                  its just strange that some odd webpages just don't work. I'll just have to deal with it or just though this thing in the trash.

                      These :

                      are not needed at all.
                      For info : Internet worked just fine before these existed - and will work just fine when they go extinct. Keep the DNS Resolver settings page all to default, and DNS will work just fine.

                      Only if your are sure that your ISP is filtering your DNS requests, you might considering DNS forwarding.

                        a2heaven.com is not working. there is some others that I have gotten complaints about before too bout I did not note them down.
                        i live in a double and rent the other half main reason I'm using this is to split the networks so I can share the internet.

                          @gertjan said in a few website are being blocked?:

                          are not needed at all.

                          Exactly... Also that choice is bad anyway even if using them.. google doesn't filter while quad9 does. And so does that opendns one, and 76.76.2.0 is some sort of freedns - do they filter or not?

                          If your not forwarding those dns settings wouldn't be used by any client on your network, only pfsense if checking for say updates or packages, or trying to resolve something like ntp server or you click resolve an IP in the firewall log, etc.

                          If your going to forward, you should make sure all that your forwarding to either filter or don't filter.. And to be honest forwarding to different dns that filters differently is bad as well.. Does quad9 filter the exact same stuff that cloudflare does? I doubt it very much.

                          When you forward to more than 1 ns you have no idea which one might be used.. So they need to be doing the same stuff, be it filter or not filter, etc. If you ask googledns hey you get a response because not filtered, but you ask quad9 you don't get an answer because its filtered.. You really have no control over which one will be asked when, etc.

                          For all you know browser is using doh..

                          First step in troubleshooting any dns related problem is actually understanding what name server is being asked.. If your browser is using doh, or the client has their own dns set and not pointing to pfsense - what you have set in pfsense for dns be it forwarding or resolving has nothing to do with the clients problem.

                            yeah I put them all in there to see if it would fix this problem..

                            I all so did have the DNS settings in windows/Chrome to direct to PFseance. it did not help any thing so I returned every thing back to stock.
                            this is legit the only problem I'm having with PFseance other then that its been fine I got my 2 Plex server to pass through it and my 24TB TrueNAS server.

                            I'm just going to unhook this thing and get some something else I may mess with it down the road some more.
                            sorry for wasting any ones time.

                              @mkubiak402 well then your resolving.. And if your having an issue with a specific fqdn, do dig with a +trace to see where you might be having a problem.. You never know maybe you can't actually talk to the authoritative NS for domain, or having a problem with some cname or something.. Or maybe it fails dnssec?

                              I have no issues with a2 heaven fqdn

                                Yup, that^.

                                Though when we last asked pfSense was unable to resolve that domain directly.

                                If that's still the case you might be seeing DNS requests filtered somewhere. Though it obviously can still resolve it against other external resolvers without using DoT so it's not your ISP intercepting all DNS.

                                  all in there to see if it would fix this problem..

                                  Well that wouldn't have anything to do with anything unless you actually told unbound to forward, and use those that you setup in general dns.

                                  Just putting them in dns would only have to pfsense itself trying to resolve something and unbound failed to respond.

                                    its fixed now... what fixed it was installing the Package "System_Patches"

                                    this showed me there was Patches for pfsense so it indrectlety fixed it..

                                      You applied the recommended patches for 23.01?

                                        i whent to "Package installer" searched for "System_Patches" and installed the ones for 2.6.0 the video just made me aware of the "System_Patches"
                                        no i did not install the one for 23.01 it just lists the ones for the Ver you have installed.

                                          I know everybody probably wants this thread to simply die...but I still want to know what the fix was.

                                          The patches package itself does zero.

                                          As far as I can tell there are only a couple dns related patches available, Neither sounding like they apply to this case (DNS over PPP WAN and ACLs for ipv6).

                                            Ha, yeah I'd like to know exactly what was fixed there. I agree none of the recommended patches look like they would address this directly.
