      @Antibiotic I point my clients to the pihole, which forwards to pfsense, which then unbound resolves. There are no rules needed on pfsense do this.. Pihole is just like any other client asking unbound for dns.

        How? Did you manually set pihole ip address for each home network in dns settings?

          Did you set to forward pihole dns request to unbound than?

            @Antibiotic yes my pihole is on 192.168.3.10, it forwards to pfsense IP address 192.168.3.253

            Pfsense manages my local network home.arpa, and all the dhcp for all my network.. You could have pihole handle that if you wanted.. But if you have more than network that can get a bit complicated.

            client ask pihole for say nas.home.arpa, it says well that is not on any of my block lists so like anything else you ask for it forwards to pfsense.. pfsense says nas.home.arpa is at 192.168.9.10

            One thing you prob want to do is in pihole allow it to forward ptrs for rfc1918. So you would uncheck this

            And you sure don't want it do dnssec, because unbound is doing that.

            pfblocker can for sure do the same thing, etc. but I like the pihole eyecandy

            eyecandy.jpg

            Its easy to look at the query log, filter exactly on what a machine asked for - or anything specific has been asked for, and who asked for it.

              Local subnet 192.168.10.1
              Local subnet 192.168.20.1 (connected router in AP mode, this router have usb connected hard disk with sharing files)
              How to make to see PC connected to 192.168.10.1 subnet to see this hard disk for file sharing?

                @Antibiotic not sure what is what here, but your policy routing.. If you want network x to access something on y you need to allow it before you policy route out some specific gateway.

                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/multiwan/policy-route.html#bypassing-policy-routing

                  But this rule should be on top, regarding DNS redirect and all other redirection rules or can be locate above "Default allow LAN to any rule"?

                    That's fine as long as you only need TCP traffic between the local subnets.

                    Define exactly how you are testing? If by 'see' the hard disk you mean some sort of Windows device discovery that usually only works within one subnet.

                              @Antibiotic how and the hell did Steve's quote turn into Russian? ;)

                              I didn't look that deep at you rules - but that DOT redirect, ie dns over tls more than likely will not work.. Even if you have unbound listening for dot. Because any sane dot client should validate the cert is correct for the NS they are wanting to talk to via dot.

                              Say your client is trying to talk to the quad9 via dot, it should validate that the cert is valid for dns.quad9.net, if not it should complain and not actually work. Unless you were using a cert it trusts that has cn/san for dns.quad9.net.. If it doesn't its a lame dot client, because one of the main features of dot or doh is validation that your talking to the NS you think your talking too via cert being correct and signed by CA you trust.

                                Device discovery like that typically only works inside the subnet of the device doing the discovery. So it will not 'discover' something in a different subnet.

                                  @johnpoz I did how to recommend NetGate doc in DNS redirect section: "Clients using DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS could circumvent this protection. Redirecting or blocking port 853 may help with DNS over TLS, depending on the clients."

                                      Is the important part here.. If the dot client is sane, it wouldn't work - but sure guess there are some really shitty dot clients that don't actually validate..

                                      Either way it helps with dot circumvent, because it the bad client will just work anyway, ie be redirect, or it will fail. I was just trying to point out that redirection of dot shouldn't work.

                                      Dot is the less common use for clients, android might do dot vs doh? Dot is easy to block, just don't allow 853.. Doh is harder to block because it hides itself with all your other 443 traffic that has to be allowed for the internet to actually work.

                                      Dot is more suited for NS that is forwarding to some other NS, and not actually the end client.

                                        Do not use discovery. Enter the IP addresss or hostname directly.
