DNS Lookups going to Google DNS even though I have OpenDNS configured?

Dude. Those logs say 192.168.4.208 is making requests to google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. and they are being blocked by the rules on the LAN interface.

@KOM:
Is it possible that there is an application running on .208 that is doing the resolving for whatever reason, like a DNS benchmark for instance?
Nope, I have nothing that would do any resolving running on .208. It's a linux storage box that just has a few Dockers running (like Plex and a few others but nothing that has any DNS configured).

That's correct, I purposely am blocking them. The question is why are they making requests to Google?

That is a great question for the makers of that box. it has nothing to do with pfSense.

I wasn't blaming pfsense I was just looking for some insight from others running pfsense. Being that I'm pretty new to pfsense I wasn't sure if I misconfigured something on it. But I'll look more closely at my server now.

dig/drill are your friends
On 192.168.4.208:
You can selectively do DNS queries to various servers:
dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.com
dig @192.168.4.1 www.google.com -
It could also be something as simple as someone running nslookup from the command line and then specifying the Google DNS.

I would but it's a linux box. And the dig/drill commands don't appear to be present.
It looks like it's an issue with one of my dockers though so I'm looking into that.

Well then install them.. What linux distro are you using that nslookup is not installed?

user@ubuntu:~$ nslookupIt's an unRAID server which is built off Slackware. But I've determined it's definitely an issue with a particular Docker. I see the nameserver's listed as the Google DNS servers in the Docker's log so it's not even really a Linux issue.

For me, playing detective is the funnest part of the job.
