      Hi!
      I'm checking options to improve my network security, but now I'm trying to have everything working on virtual infrastructure. On proxmox I created 2 VMs - with pfSense and additional one with antiX live CD. Both are connected via virtual LAN interface. PFS anso has second NIC to connect with home network and internet. AntiX gets IP from pfS's DHCP and I can ping the world, but DNS doesn't work. I tried to use "DNS Resolver", but I'm getting error like in attachment.Zrzut ekranu z 2023-11-05 11-19-48.png.
      Is there any good HOW-TO describing simple configuration? After this error configuration can't be saved anymore (new communicate: "Unable to open /cf/conf/config.xml for writing in write_config()"). Fortunately I have backup from first run after WAN/LAN definition..

        When does that error occur? After you save the config?? Do you use advanced config area for anything?

          @JonathanLee I only set interfaces and changed my passwd. Then DNS was not working. I just created new VM and DNS starts normally. I have no idea what happened... I'll try to reinstall pfS on the first machine.

            @JonathanLee I know what happened. Installer is saying minimum needed is 1.0G of disc space and 1.0 was not enough to go to next step. So I created 1.25G sda. I just checked and on second pfS VM system uses 1.3G :D Now I'm doing fresh install on 4G drive.

                @noobalaboomer said in DNS issue:

                Unable to open /cf/conf/config.xml for writing in write_config()

                Two possibilities - an solution :
                Can't write to the file system == can't write file to disk :
                There is no more space left on the partition (disk) ......

                unbound was telling you the same thing.
                You found the solution : use bigger drive ^^

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