DNS lookup not working
-
I have a setup with a fixed ip on WAN and 1 LAN. I entered 4 ip adresses as dns servers (1st one 8.8.8.8) on system -> general setup -> dns servers. I have the gateway set to none. I don't have dhcp enabled.
Has anyone an idea to fix this problem? -
Are you able to ping 8.8.8.8 from pfSense and from a computer in the network? Are you setting the DNS server setting to your pfSense LAN ip address?
Have you adjusted any FW rules in the LAN tab? -
I can ping 8.8.8.8 from the pfsense firewall as well as from any pc. DNS is working on all pc's in my network, only not from the firewall.
In system-> general setup I have set 4 dns servers. The dns settings on all other computers in my network use my own dns servers and these use 127.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8, not the firewall.
I have 4 rules added: tcp 25 outbound only by my mailserver disabled for all others. same for port 465. last rule is allow LAN to any rule. -
"I have 4 rules added: tcp 25 outbound only by my mailserver disabled for all others. same for port 465. last rule is allow LAN to any rule."
Lets see these rules - because the way you describe them, they are not going to work if your last rule is an allow all.
So you have pointing to itself with the 127.0.0.1 entry - are you running the dns forwarder? If not what is running on pfsense to resolve, so 127 is should not be there.
If your not running the forwarder, then you should put a check next to the box that says
Do not use the DNS Forwarder as a DNS server for the firewallAnd that 127 entry should go away.
