      Hello,

      Since I use the DNS resolver of pfSense, I no longer have access to simplified url "t.co". Example, impossible to access to http://t.co/zLf5XQQPdn.

      C:\Users\Fab>nslookup co
Serveur :   UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.1 (pfSense)

*** UnKnown to find co : Non-existent domain

      What do you do?

      There are not any root DNS servers in pfSense?

      Thanks :-)

        You don't resolve TLDs. t.co resolves just fine.

          No, impossible to resolve t.co. By using DNS Forwarder, no problem

          C:\Users\Fab>nslookup t.co
Serveur :   UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.1

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.

            Yeah, your DNS configuration is broken. No information provided to debug anything here.

              Yeah, your DNS configuration is broken. No information provided to debug anything here.

              Configuration :

              General settings:
------------------

Enable : checked
Listen port : empty
Network Interfaces : LAN
Outgoing Network Interfaces : WAN
DNSSEC : checked
DNS Query Forwarding : unchecked
DHCP Registration : checked
Static DHCP : checked
TXT Comment Support : checked

On the other tabs, everything is default

              Interfaces configuration:

              
LAN : Static IPv4 Configuation : 10.0.0.1/24
WAN : PPPoE Internet Access

              Nothing to report in the log of resolver. And no problem to solve other TLDs that "co"

              What I can provide such other information?

              thanks :)

                            Because it's clearly blocking/hijacking UDP/53 DNS traffic. When you cannot talk to root servers, you've got a problem.

                              It's strange, I haven't changed anything and now it works. Maybe it is a routing problem at my ISP?

                              Now :

                              C:\Users\Fab>nslookup t.co
Address:  10.0.0.1

Non-authoritative response :
Name :    t.co
Addresses:  199.16.156.11
          199.16.156.75

                              I monitor in the coming days. thank you

                                Well if it breaks again… check you can resolve stuff via root nameservers. Unbound cannot work without those unless forwarding is enabled. Also, extremely weird why it'd be limited to .co TLD

                                  The problem comes back randomly :-(

                                  And I have changed ISP meantime. So this is not an ISP problem.

                                    Make sure you have "harden glue" enabled on the Advanced tab. If you don't, it might be possible for some malicious query reply to break a TLD.

                                      I just activate "harden glue", and it works:-) Thanks!
                                      But I do not understand what is this option. You can tell me more?
