        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 ??

              @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.

                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.

                        Listen my friend , yesterday before my upgrade 23.01 my setup was the same for several years

                        Never had ans issue

                        23.01 is the issue in DoT
                        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

                        quad9, google, opendns, cloudflare or whatever is issue

                          vrac-nicolas.dyndns.org.jimbohello.arpa
                          when it suppose to be vrac-nicolas.dyndns.org

                          pfsense is hading the domain part of itself ! no wonder why it can't resolve

                            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

                              Version 22.05 not affected
                              Version 23.01 affected

                              Thank’s

                              Hope helps
