      I'm using DNSFilter for my DNS. Is there a way to set up a DNS relay with pfSense+ to forward all requests (including LAN IP) to DNSFilter? They offer instructions to do this with a docker image they make, but I'm wondering if pfSense+ has a native option.

        @ericnix how would be this any different than forwarding to say quad9 or google dns?

        Just use their deployment forwarding option

          @ericnix once you enable forwarding in the Resolver settings, see https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/dns-redirect.html

          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.
