      Ya think maybe your pfblocker dns might have something to do it it ;)

      lets go over this again..  Can you query pfsense own name from something on your network?

      example

      dig pfsense.local.lan

      ; <<>> DiG 9.11.0 <<>> pfsense.local.lan                                 
      ;; global options: +cmd                                                   
      ;; Got answer:                                                           
      ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 51432

      ;; ANSWER SECTION:

            Small correction pfsense.localdomain not pfsense.local.lan. This  is all what i get dig output, using same configuration since 16days no reboot. suddenly stopped resolving hostnames,  somehow only youtube working fine without any problem.

            should i need to specify dns ip also - System/General Setup/ DNS Server setting

            also using some packages like SNORT, pfblockerNG, squid proxy transparent mode. ClamAV.

                    any idea what i do now, because 127.0.0.1 not resolving domains…..... DNS look also keep searching but nothing

                    NOTE:-- tested this - when i do DNS Query Forwarding - Enabled and put google DNS 8.8.8.8 in System/General setup eveything works normal. But before that i use to keep uncheck DNS Query and no DNS in System/General everything just works fine....

                      dude so when you query the pfsense directly??

                      dig @pfsenseIP pfsense.localdomainname.tld

                      does that respond or not?

                      On pfsense using the resolver and pointing to itself, can it resolve other domains?

                      Your problem is your linux is asking some service running local, that does what?  does it forward to what?

                      Its possible pfsense resolver is having an issue talking to roots and the authoritative ns.  But it should be able to resolve its own name when asked by itself or other clients

                      Its also possible you just don't have an Accesslist that allows your client to even query pfsense for anything that the resolver can resolve either your own local names or host overrides or outside.

                          ok so you can query pfsense local name, and you can query some domains.

                          You need to figure out why you can not query those…  Set up your debug level in unbound and try the queries again and see what it says?

                          Do a query direct to the ns for facebook.com

                          dig @a.ns.facebook.com www.facebook.com

                          Maybe your having ipv6 issues?  Maybe your isp is doing something with your dns queries?

                          Do a +trace with did to see what might be failing?  the resolver works completely different than forwarding.  You walk the tree down from roots too the authoritative server.  If your internet connection has problems to these authoritative servers then you can have issues.

                          Change over to the forwarder if your having issues with resolving, or put the resolver in forwarder mode - most likely have to turn off dnssec if where you forward doesn't support it.

                                Well lets track one specific thing that you say does not resolve..

                                So for example… How do you think this .localdomain is going to resolve???

                                tools.ietf.org.localdomain

                                Seems your tacking on .localdomain to your queries.. Yeah those are going to FAIL every time!!

                                Looks like your also trying to do ipv6 which is failing.

                                Also what part do you NOT get about doing a query to pfsense directly...  Your asking something running on your linux box.. your asking 127.0.1.1 which is loopback.. Where is it asking???  Pfsense?  Maybe something else?  You don't freaking know, etc..  So in your dig command directly query pfsense IP..

                                Dig @pfsenseIP what.yourlooking.for

                                Do a query direct to your pfsense IP for facebook..  If that fails, then look in your resolver log to why, etc.

                                fail.jpg
                                fail.jpg_thumb

                                  After some R&D looks like my isp not allowing me to use any third party DNS other then there own Google 8.8.8.8 and there own 103.14.124.6. I tried putting opendns dns 208.67.222.222 dns forwarding mode still not able to resolve domains when i use 8.8.8.8 all works fine.

                                  I cant even ping any IP or domain other then google services like youtube, plus google, google .com and google DNS.

                                    Well if your ISP is that crappy I would change ISP to be honest ;)

                                    If that is the case then NO you can not use a resolver, and can only forward.  To the ns they allow you to talk to, resolving will not work unless you can talk to ANY IP on the planet on udp/tcp 53.  Since you have no idea where the authoritative server for somedomain.tld will actually be.

                                    Dude but your killing me.. Your posted dig was not to pfsense directly.. You asked yet again the local service running on your linux box 127.0.1.1 hey what is the A record for 192.168.2.1 – yeah that is not what I said to do.  I said to query pfsense directly!!!

                                    so as I gave example use the @ in your dig command to tell it where to go..

                                    Ie dig @192.168.2.1 what.yourlookking.for

                                    If 192.168.2.1 is the IP of pfsense that unbound is listening on.

                                    dig **@**192.168.9.253 www.facebook.com

                                    Again notice the @ and the IP of who I want to ask.  192.168.9.253 in my case.

                                    If your ISP is going to limit who you can ask for dns, then your prob best off using the forwarder and not the resolver..  And just putting in the IPs of the dns they let you ask.  Or I would really freaking complain to them - blocking you from asking a NS for something is just BS plain and simple.

                                    You can use that command to ask some ns on the public internet for something directly.  this would validate if your isp is allowing or blocking you.  As long as your lan rules allow you outbound on 53..  You can even tell did to use TCP vs UDP..

                                      my pfsense ip is 192.168.2.1

                                      i tried using isp dns and google ip 8.8.8.8 all websites open perfect but one new problem cant ping any thing other then google dns and isp provided dns ip.

                                      it looks like they are restricting us from using third party dns and not allowing us to ping any ip

                                      what wrong dig :( im so frustrated you asked me for "dig @pfsenseIP www.whatever.com"
