Can not resolve a DNS
-
C:\Users\Chris>nslookup melita.com
Server: pfSense.localdomain
Address: 192.168.0.1*** pfSense.localdomain can't find melita.com: Server failed
Yeah sure looks like your having a issue resolving it.. Do you have pfsense using itself for dns?? Or do you have it using something else?? Thought you said your dns query for it worked?? From that you first got a timeout, pfsense was trying to resolve?? Then you get back serv failed.. Which normally means could not talk to the NS it.. So is psfense using itself, ie this will use resolver out of the box in resolver mode and pfsense asking the resolver for stuff it wants to resolve.
nslookup is not as good at helping debug dns issues as dig is. What I would suggest you do is install dig on your windows box, or use linux with dig or drill and do a trace.. This will talk to the roots and walk down the tree just like unbound does in resolver mode. This should tell you where there is an issue.
so example..

You can just download dig for free as part of bind, then just install the "tools"
https://www.isc.org/downloads/Or just do it direct from pfsense with drill
[2.3.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local.lan]/root: drill -T melita.com com. 172800 IN NS h.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS l.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS a.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS e.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS f.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS d.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS g.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS j.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS b.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS m.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS k.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS i.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS c.gtld-servers.net. melita.com. 172800 IN NS ns.melitacable.com. melita.com. 172800 IN NS ns1.melitacable.com. melita.com. 86400 IN A 212.56.128.204 melita.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.melitacable.com. melita.com. 86400 IN NS ns.melitacable.com.If it fails - you can u the verbosity with

No this not the dig I showed you.. Do a full trace.. and forget any dnssec stuff.. Maybe that is what is failing for you, which is why lets do it without the dnssec, etc.
dig +trace +nodnssec melita.com

that is your full output??
Is 192.168.0.1 pfsense? And you have it resolver mode? It should of atleast given you the root servers.. You got something wrong..
Try it with just the +trace option
dig +trace melita.com
Also dig NS what does that give you back?

WTF???
So try the +trace +nodnssec command on some other domain that works..
say pfsense.org

Ok I was able to duplicate what you saw.. Your ACL is only set to allow vs allow snoop..

I really really thank you for all your time and help. But if it is getting a headache for you please do not feel obligated in anyway to resolve this for me. Thanks again friend
-
I disabled resolver and enabled the forwarder, in forwarder the site resolves and works fine.
-
Are you using the ACL??
Did you turn off the auto ones?
Disable Auto-added Access ControlIn the advanced section of unbound?
Try the drill command from pfsense directly.. what we are looking for is where it fails in the resolve process for that domain.. Is it talking to their authoritative servers??
You could try that.. do say

Hi John sorry for the delay I will do drill command in pfsense and get back to you btw yes I disabled the auto ACL in advanced settings
-
if you have a ACL setup correctly then you for sure should be able to get the roots from pfsense and then your dig +trace command should work, or atleast return with the roots, it might fail after that but its shouldn't come back blank like you were seeing.

when I Disable Auto-added Access Control nothing gets resolved I had to uncheck it
-
this is because if you don't use the auto, you have to create your own!!! Which you said you did, I posted a screen of mine as example..
-
you don't need the ipv6.. Shoot I should of hid thouse.. Could you please delete that pic, I will delete mine and repost with thos hidden.
You need to put in the network your using.. What network are you using - if for example 172.16/12 then my acl would not work for you..
Your using 192.168.0/24 right.. So if that is the only network you query pfsense from then that would be in your allow list. So if you put in 192.168/16 like I have then it should work.. So your still not getting the root servers when you do a +trace from your client on 192.168 network??
Do the drill command on pfsense then.. Lets see where its failing.
