          https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/105dbm9/issues_with_dynamic_dns_on_2301dev/

          Jan 6 21:25:26php-fpm844/services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS (pfsense.xxxxxxx.us) There was an error trying to determine the public IP for interface - wan (ix3 ).

          That's not an DynDNS problem.
          It's worse.

          Here : http://checkip.dyndns.org/ and click on that link ( it's safe 😊 ).

          For everybody, it should indicate your WAN IP.

          I can do the same thing on the console / SSH access of my pfSEnse :

          [23.01-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.my4100.tld]/root: curl http://checkip.dyndns.org/
          <html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: 82.127.62.108</body></html>
          

          And that's correct : that my WAN IPv4 !!

          Your issue is probably : the same command doesn't work for you.
          A possible reason is : your pfSense can't do DNS for itself.

          Check that out with :

          nslookup checkip.dyndns.org
          

          on your PC.

          And do the same command on pfSense :

          [23.01-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.my4100.net]/root: nslookup checkip.dyndns.org
          Server:         127.0.0.1
          Address:        127.0.0.1#53
          
          Non-authoritative answer:
          checkip.dyndns.org      canonical name = checkip.dyndns.com.
          Name:   checkip.dyndns.com
          Address: 193.122.6.168
          Name:   checkip.dyndns.com
          Address: 132.226.247.73
          Name:   checkip.dyndns.com
          Address: 193.122.130.0
          Name:   checkip.dyndns.com
          Address: 132.226.8.169
          Name:   checkip.dyndns.com
          Address: 158.101.44.242
          

          I don't say that 'this' is your issue.
          Just that if pfSense can't access "checkip.dyndns.com" you've 'done' something, because it works out of the box.

          Massive issues upgrading to 23.01

          You have a 4100 recently so it had what in the beginning , 22.05 ?
          Going from 22.05 to 23.01 wasn't that hard if I recall - I thought I was a mouse click thing.
          For me it was.

          Didn't even know people were talking pfSense also on reddit.
          Actually, I never check / use reddit. It's to ... noisy. I like this place : no adds ^^

          Dev versions are for those who want to live on the bleeding edge.
          It's normal to see some blood ;)

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

              hum strange !
              i test out something !
              disable dns over TLS in the dns resolver !
              put it back to standard 53, seem to resolved the issue !
              pretty strange !

                @jimbohello at this point every issue we have with v23 seems to come back to some unbound DNS issue. You might check the other threads about getting DNS with TLS working.

                  disable dns over TLS in the dns resolver

                  As Clyosoft indicates there are a few threads about DNS not working. Disabling DNSSEC while forwarding seems to be required now (and reportedly all along was known to sometimes cause failures when forwarding), but several have said they also need to disable DNS over TLS. See for instance:

                  https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178413/major-dns-bug-23-01-with-quad9-on-ssl/

                  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.

                      i don't know if this help, but i did some testing,

                      if i remove in tab - /system/general
                      use remote dns serveur , ignore local dns

                      the problem is solve using DNS OVER TLS

                      when i put back "use local dns, ignore remote dns " problem occur

                        This setting affects how pfSense itself does DNS. So again it sounds like DNS is not working on your router, for some reason.
                        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/general.html#dns-resolution-behavior

                        Is the DNS Resolver service running? If you try to start it, or restart it, are there errors shown in the system log or DNS Resolver log? Test DNS using Diagnostics/DNS Lookup.

                        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.

                          I have zero problem on dns resolution for my local lan client.
                          The problem is only in alias fetching xxxx.dyndns.org ip

                          Same issue on all my appliance

                          LOG/ dns resolver /. FAILED TO RESOLVE HOST

                          If i go back to standard dns(53). Work like luky charm. :)

                          It exacly this problem

                          https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178413/major-dns-bug-23-01-with-quad9-on-ssl

                              Hmm, I only expect to see that if it has already failed to resolve the fqdn without the domain appended.

                                When following DoT procedure base on netgate.
                                All alliases having dynamic name to resolve, get an response from dnsfilter « failed to resolve host - will retry again later ». Some of them does resolve bost most part failed completly ans then, at a point failed all.

                                When chanching aliases to url ip table , no problem occur.

                                If i remove all DoT everything work as expected

                                Note : i have arround 140 dynamic name to resolve.

                                Hope help

                                Behavior apper on sg-3100, sg-8200 pro max. And all other device
