      Are you even sure resolver is running??  Maybe you have the forwarder running..  Sorry to sound like I am treating you like a moron..  But normally that is the case around here..

      If you saying no overrides work, then the first thing that comes to mind is your putting in the the wrong place.  Or your not even doing a query to pfsense..

        Are you even sure resolver is running??

        DNS Resolver is runing

        Maybe you have the forwarder running

        I do have the forwarder running for the WPAD, but i never had any issue with that before see attachment

        Sorry to sound like I am treating you like a moron..  But normally that is the case around here.

        I hope that I am not making a moron of a mistake but it was all working perfectly before the update, when the update finished I notice straight away that the Host Overrides stopped working.

        If you saying no overrides work, then the first thing that comes to mind is your putting in the the wrong place.  Or your not even doing a query to pfsense..

        See attachments

          Huh???

          What is the point of forwarding anything to 53 to 53??  How about you turn off that and the forwarder and make sure resolver is working..  Which you don't even have doing dnssec so what is the point of it?  Why do you think you need forwarder running for wpad??  On the proxy port?

          When are you going to query the resolver?

            Fixed it by Diagnostics\States\States Reset States

            Would have thought restarting the router would have done that, anyway.

            I also Enabled DNSSEC Support.

            What is the point of forwarding anything to 53 to 53??  How about you turn off that and the forwarder and make sure resolver is working..  Which you don't even have doing dnssec so what is the point of it?  Why do you think you need forwarder running for wpad??  On the proxy port?

            When are you going to query the resolver?

            Well it works now and i do not want to break anything by changing something, thanks for the help

              What is the point of forwarding 53 to loopback, you want to make sure some that does a query to 53 to something outside is redirected to pfsense??

              And your forwarder is running on 3128 so when is that queried??

              Break something - break what a pointless configuration?

                  What does that have to do with running forwarder on 3128??  Yeah you can create a entry for wpad.yourdomain.tld to point to where the autoconfiguration script is..  What does that have to do with forwarder listening on 3128??  Which would be the same port your proxy is listening on normally??

                    Ok just had a look I needed to use a port other than 53 because Resolver was using that port and when I was trying different methods to get the wpad working i tried the proxy port and it worked however I just changed the DNS Forwarder to something else and it also works fine.

                    So yeah there is no need to point the DNS Forwarder to the proxy port (just need to pick an unused one) learn something new everyday.

                      Not sure how you think that is working??  What do you think is doing a query to the forwarder for wpad??

                      Do you have some other redirection going on?  Why do you need the forwarder?  Why would you not just create a entry in resolver?  You have a redirect to loopback.. What what is listing on loopback the forwarder or the resolver?

                      I am really confused what you think that is doing?  And why you need both forwarder and resolver?

                        I just tried using the the resolver for the wpad and it seems to be working so no I do not need the forwarder. I used the forwarder because I will following a tutorial when i set up the wpad. As far as the loopback be selected I was just testing something with it, disabled it now.

                        Thanks for the help

                            there is an issue with selecting the google domains

                            local-data: "www.google.ad A 216.239.38.120"
                            local-data: "www.google.ae A 216.239.38.120"

                            local-data: "www.google.com.ag A 216.239.38.120"

                            That is all I can select.
