dns redirection - local requests being redirected

[omethe]

hi,

i'm using this guide to redirect dns requests: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/dns-redirect.html. I've got everything set up exactly as the guide says.

but i'm noticing in the logs that traffic to my pfsense box from local addresses also seem to being redirected as well. Here are my rules;

And here is the entry in the firewall log when I do a dig google.com;

Have I missed something? I'm not sure why local traffic is being redirected as well?

Thanks!

I checked and the resolver is set to use 10.0.0.254

Nevermind, I've worked out what's going on. That firewall rule is catching all dns traffic not just the redirected traffic. It had me confused for a while!
