DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN sporadically for anywhere from 30secs to 10min. works flawlessly at all other times

How many days are we into this - and you say its a problem for like 10 minutes... And yet to get one actual test of what is happening other than you saying your internet stops working for like 10 minutes.
Other than a ping from your phone to 8.8.8.8, which for all we know used cell data at the time?
And your browser reports NX... for all we know its using doh to resolve and not even asking unbound - do we have some entries in your log of these queries and answers you set, coming from your devices in the logs - you turned on query logging did you not.
edit:
Here I turned on logging, you can see my client asked for www.yahoo.com and got an answer - the no errorThen a I asked for just some gibberish, see the NX response

Maybe next time my wife goes out for a few hours and I am not working will be good time to take the network down ;)
exactly. I have 2 young kids, if I get the house to myself for an hour, weathering the anxiety of clean installing pfsense isn't the most tantalizing prospect. But i can prioritize if we think it's possible it's causing the issue.

How many days are we into this
yeah I know, and I'm sorry. in my defense, I'm rarely home and it happens rarely. It's only happened to me when I was home twice since i recieved the latest troubleshooting steps and they were, to save you the unsavory details, very inopportune times. I have screenshotted the posts with instructions and will be carrying around a laptop all weekend in hopes of "catching it" thank you for your patience.

yeah i'm not so sure what DOH is, but I assume those steps you included will get to the bottom of it, and I hope to have those results before the end of the weekend.
Is this sufficient for turning on queries?

Then a I asked for just some gibberish, see the NX response
i see a fair number of NOERROR responses in the log but mostly it seems to be pimarily occupied by my IP cams. I tried to run your test (yahoo.com and slkdjfuiughdil.com) over the vpn but the log doesn't seem to be updating in the GUI. It's currently 11:29 but my log is last showing 11:11 and I just opened yahoo.com. I'll try not over the VPN tonight.
It's been 5 minutes and still no update to the log. I did search for NXDOMAIN and there are 43 instances (of 3000 entries). Here's one:
-
@RickyBaker Those are be expected... That 10.10.10.6 is asking for the ptr (reverse) of 172.17.0.1 - is that an IP on your network, seems like a default sort of docker network to me.
But yeah that would return nx normally because your local dns doesn't have it setup.. But the ptr for say your pfsense IP should answer..

Here I did a query for something that was pretty sure would not be asked for often and in cache www.msn.com because don't go there.. The 192.168.3.10 is my pihole IP.. So client via my dig command pihole, which then asked unbound on pfsense to look it up.
You can see the time in the unbound log matches up with the time on my client. 11:48:02
And I can see that query in my pihole as well - at the same time..
If logs are delayed or time is off in them - then yeah you got other things going on.. Do you have log compression setup?
What for sure would like to validate is your browser is even asking unbound for stuff - so if in your browser go to say www.lsjdfldsjdflsjgibberishwhatever.com you should be able to see that get asked for in unbound, and an NX response - like you saw in my previous screenshot.
And normally - by the time you do it in your browser.. And then go open the resolver log in the pfsense gui, that entry should be listed. There sure shouldn't be minutes of delay before that is in your log, fractions of seconds, maybe a second? But if delayed being seen in the log the timestamp should be pretty freaking exact on..

i can't say off the top of my head but 10.10.10.6 is my unraid server and that is where the dockers live so seems likely. There are also a lot from wpad.localdomain from the computer i'm connected with over VPN. here's a couple other ones:

it's less than perfect that I'm doing this over VPN. I'll run these tests in a couple hours the minute i get home. But i'm not seeing that for some reason.

Your typical network with a few devices on it - the dns would be very busy answering queries all the time.. Shoot even when nobody is actually using the device, there is quite often dns queries... If they are asking unbound, and you set it to log queries - then you should be seeing the log file increment like every minute or atleast when there is a query.
If you change it to show seconds... You should be seeing the log change everytime something is written

@johnpoz the queries I was doing was just searching in the browser. I will run those sample dig commands you posted earlier when I get home and am not over VPN.

@RickyBaker and browsers these days LOVE to use doh, and not even ask your local dns.. If your issues were in the browser its quite possible it was talking to whatever it uses for default doh (dns over https).. Browsers love to switch to this without any user intervention at all.. You know the browser people looking out for their idiot users that are too stupid to decide what dns they want to use..
And if they are using our browser, then clearly we should point them to our dns for their own good without telling them we are doing so, or even asking them if we should.
What browser are you using?

My logs were still stuck on 11:11:03 (last config update). i restarted the service and they are updating again.
mine doens't seem to have an answer section like yours
And this I believe is the corresponding failure in the log:
the previous fail in the log was from the browser...I'm kind of swimming in all the different steps that were needed. Was this helpful? What have I discovered about my devices and their usage of the DNS?

@RickyBaker all those are failing.. You see servfail.. So no its never going to work.
Is 10.10.10.1 your actual IP, or are you pointing to the vip of pfblocker?
In your nslookup debug you never even asked for just www.msn.com - you just asked for www.msn.com.localdomain.
Put a . on the end with your nslookup.. You see how mine did search, with my home.arpa but then it dropped that and did my actual query. Your never did that.
What is asking for HTTPS record vs just A record? You see where you see query from 10.10.10.10 its doing both a A record query and a HTTPS query?
You might want to add these two options.. So easier to see what is query and what is reply.. And prob want to add the servfail option so might get some info to why it failed.
log-tag-queryreply: yes
log-servfail: yesAdd those to what you already have in your options box and save and apply.. This can give you more info..
So your not behind a vpn here, pfsense has no vpn client connection? You need to see in your debug for what your actually asking for www.msn.com.localdomain is never going to resolve.. Unless you had created that record locally.
And didn't we go over that 127.0.0.53, you need to know who exactly that is asking.. If you going to do a dig - do a directed query with the @ipaddress...

I def did not intend to ask for www.msn.com.localdomain and I def did not type the words localdomain when I was running the sample you suggested. I merely enacted the samples you suggested as well as pointing my browser at www.msn.com. I'm guessing the https request is a browser feature that forces https, but that's just conjecture

@RickyBaker well lets see what happens with logging of servfail detaills. Because clearly its running and resolved your pfsense.localdomain name from from 10.10.10.1 when you did your nslookup.
Another thing I notice on your servfail your not getting the ede back..
You should be able to enable that with ede: yes in your custom box

@RickyBaker there you go - some actual useful info
So your having some sort of issue with dnssec.. I would expect that to fail with that query - that fqdn is test fqdn for making sure dnssec is working.. But we are seeing the servfail reason..
So now when normal queries fail we might get to the bottom of why your getting servfail vs an answer to what you ask for.

thank you for the links. It somehow moved me closer AND farther away from understanding. I have AT&T fiber, why did it attempt a comcast run dnssec fail website. Is going to this website something built into the dig command? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe y'all had me re-enable DNSSEC just cause it was good practice. I can see how this failing is symptomatic of my greater problems but it's odd to me that whats manifesting itself is something I've been told is really optional and best practice, not required.

All of this leaves me a little lost as to next steps. I keep going back to this line. I know what fqdn stands for, but this collection of words together just doesn't make sense to me, and I believe it's the key to understanding what I need to do next. as always, thanks for everything and further guidance would be greatly appreciated.

@SteveITS well yeah forwarding and trying to do dnssec is going to be problematic.. But that dnssec-failed.org should always fail.. It meant to fail.. As a way to validate your dnssec is working..

If where you forward does not do dnssec, asking for it in unbound settings isn't going to do anything other then more than likely cause failures..
