      Using Cloudflare as primary, also Quad9 as backup

        What actual error is shown?

        Can you resolve the site from the pfSense CLI?

          @stephenw10 Browser attempts access for lengthy period then finally issues message that website took too long to respond. I did run traceroute from Diagnostics Page in pfSense and it worked fine getting to the address "currently.att.com" with about 18 hops.

          Also forgot to mention earlier, I have same issue connecting to Netflix. With my TV behind the firewall, it pops up error "failure to connect to servers". When I connect TV directly to Xfinity gateway ethernet port, it works fine.

            @BobL4002 said in Access to att.com email:

            currently.att.com

            That just redirects for me. Can you reach: https://currently.att.yahoo.com ?

                A quick Google search, Cloudflare has been known to block Yahoo mail servers since Yahoo mail is an open cesspool.

                https://www.google.com/search?q=cloudflare+blocking+yahoo+mail+servers

                Try using Google DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

                Sign up for a free gmail address, or register your own domain and sign up for email services with the domain registrar.

                  @elvisimprsntr Will try it. I did check box on General Setup indicating to use ISP DNS servers first and that did not work, even though they work when I circumvent pfSense firewall.

                    Are you running Unbound (DNS Resolver) in forwarding mode?

                    Do you have the box checked to allow using DNS servers passed by the ISP?

                      Not running in forwarding mode.

                      Typically I do not check the "Allow ISP DNS Servers", however I did try this to bypass the DNS servers I normally use > 1.1.1.1; 9.9.9.9.

                      I will try the Google DNS servers you suggested above.

                        I re-checked and Forwarding Mode is checked.

                          @BobL4002 so you can't go here?
