      Yes thanks.

      I did remove 8.8.8.8 and DNS resolver works:

        ~ ping jeedom.local.lan
      PING jeedom.local.lan (192.168.1.12): 56 data bytes
      64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=10.160 ms
      

      but:

      ➜  ~ ping google.com
      ping: cannot resolve google.com: Unknown host
      ➜  ~ ping google.com
      

      I don't know where is my mistake

        @rjcab if your going to forward with unbound.. make sure you disable dnssec.. It can be very problematic when you forward, and serves no point.

        Or just uncheck forwarding in unbound and let it resolve.

            @rjcab well why is the question - is your connection blocking roots? dns in general - are you using some vpn? There have been a bunch of threads lately about nord intercepting dns traffic for example..

            from a cmd line on pfsense do a simple dig trace..

            This is exactly what unbound does in resolve mode - if that doesn't work, then no your not going to be able to resolve.

              Thanks again for your support.

                well you got something wrong there for sure if you can not even get the root servers back...

                So no I don't see how you could "resolve" anything.

                  more I deep dive in Pfsense, less I am good at.

                  *** Welcome to pfSense 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64) on pfSense ***
                  
                   WAN (wan)       -> re1        -> v4: 192.168.10.253/32

                  And from terminal pfsense I am not able to ping WAN interface of my Box router which is 192.168.10.254 from a fresh install:
