DNSSEC on pfSense

jlepthien

I tried using Unbound again and everything seems to be working fine except one small thing…
I have one domain override configured but I cannot resolve the hostname. Not on the pfSense box itself and not on any LAN/WLAN interface. Any info on how/what to test?

Here is the part of the config:

# Domain overrides
stub-zone:
	name: "ip"
	stub-addr: 192.168.2.1
	stub-prime: no

And there should be my modem with a dns name of speedport.ip which is on vr1 (my external interface). This works with dnsmasq but not with Unbound yet…

Edit: the speedport.ip entry also is missing from /etc/hosts on my pfSense box...

I just tried putting in a domain override, and restarted unbound - and its not showing up in the unbound config.

Domain overrides

Remote Control Config

So I have the below domain set to override and use 192.168.1.4, I even stopped and restarted unbound service - just not showing up in the config??

But to your question, for a host to resolve with your domain .ip the nameserver you point to for .ip would have to have that host record.

For me it shows up in the config. And it hasn't to be the hostname, just the domain. That way it works with dnsmasq. Try just setting the domain there.

What modem you have? When I do a search for speedport.ip I see stuff about this modem

Speedport W 701V

Thanks just your modem resolving to itself is all, thats not what you would do to if you want unbound to resolve speedport.ip to the 192.168.2.1 address of your modem.

From the manual of that modem, its in german but translates too

Type in the address bar of Internet browsing, "speedport.ip" or "192.168.2.1"and confirm.

This just means that if using your modem (really a router) as your dns, that would resolve speedport.ip to itself. And then would work if you were forwarding dns to the router, ie 192.168.2.1 – but with unbound its doing the actual dns lookups, speedport.ip is never going to resolve in the real world.. You would have to have a dns server that thinks owner of the .ip tld and then a A record for speedport in it.

If you want to resolve speedport.ip using unbound, just add a host record for that, and then it will resolve it to whatever IP you want.

so for example. I add it in mine to speedport.ip to 192.168.2.1

As you can see from the attachments -- but even with restart its not reading that entry in?? but it has all my other entries?? Im not on the current snap - but don't want to upgrade while not there.. So will have to do when I get back.. But that is what take your problem is for this speedport.ip.

It resolves my other local hosts just fine

Yeah okay. But I wanted to add that whole .ip domain so I added a whole domain overwrite, not just for the host…

johnpoz

If you want that resolve whole .ip domain – then you need another nameserver that would be authoritative for the .ip tld -- and this nameserver would have to house all the records of hosts in that domain.

example

speedport.ip
hostA.ip
hostB.ip
etc..

So does your modem at 2.1 allow you to put in other hosts that would resolve to with .ip domain?

A domain override would be used if you want to have some other nameserver resolve for say yourdomain.com vs root servers point to for example. Or you have some nameserver that is authoritative for an invalid tld like .ip

jlepthien

I know. The point is that it works that way with dnsmasq so why not now with Unbound?

jlepthien

Ok now I changed it the way you used it and it works…

johnpoz

Because to be honest I doubt that speedport router is actually a nameserver that would resolve speedport.ip like a normal nameserver would

Simple enough to test, using either nslookup or dig – do a query to that ip 192.168.2.1

nslookup

server 192.168.2.1
speedport.ip

does that work? I doubt it

Or with dig

dig @192.168.2.1 speedport.ip

If those work then your domain override should work, if not then no it would never work. So just having your unbound resolve speedport.ip to whatever IP you want is the way to do it.

Now currently mine does not seem to be reading in the additions I make to either hosts or domain overrides - but once it does, then I will point it to my other nameserver and verify it works like it should. But for now, if you don't mine do either the nslookup or dig test and post the results.. If that works then your right the override for .ip to go ask 192.168.2.1 should resolve speedport.ip for you.

I tried with forwarding enabled and disable and both times lost connection
internally but the pfsense still can reach the outside, I test it by updating
snort and squidguard but the systems behind pfsense cannot reach the internet.

But I agree its not working like it should.. So there is a server at 192.168.1.4 running bind with a zone for test.ip

see – if I query it directly authoritative for the host3 record I created.

This shows that it is answering correctly unless www.pfsense.org was cached. Trying another website not resolved yet something like www.food.com?

@jlepthien:

Yeah okay. But I wanted to add that whole .ip domain so I added a whole domain overwrite, not just for the host…

Yeah I hear what you saying. Your modem would have to be running its own name server as @johnpoz mentioned.

What is kern.ipc.maxsockbuf set to on your pfSense box (sysctl kern.ipc.maxsockbuf)?

I have committed a fix for this but still interested to know what your kern.ipc.maxsockbuf is set to.

Do you have "Private Address support" disabled?

johnpoz

No it needs to be enabled for host and domain override to work.. You can see from previous posts that host override works.. ie
From the settings page
Note: Domain Overrides and Host entries will be allowed to return answers if this option is enabled.

See local overrides work just fine..

yeah it wouldnt because no name resolution can take place as unbound is not started yet.

hmm…odd Unbound picked up a lower amount than that. Could have been an old snap that you were on which had a lower kern.ipc.maxsockbuf. Anyway it should be working for you since I did add some additional checks which will protect against what you experienced.
I have also just committed ACL support so if you reinstall you will see an additional page to allow other networks to query Unbound.
If you do use it just remember to add the necessary firewall rules.

Let me know if you pick up any problems please.
