      I did have all selected as default and it did not work like that either. I changed those settings when there was lot of errors in logs.

        @KOM:

        Resolver doesn't use the servers listed in General Setup - DNS Server Settings.

        Huh?  What does it use then?

        From System/General?DNS Server Settings..

        Address
        Enter IP addresses to be used by the system for DNS resolution. These are also used for the DHCP service, DNS Forwarder and DNS Resolver when it has DNS Query Forwarding enabled.

            And the rest states-

            These are also used for the DHCP service, DNS Forwarder and DNS Resolver when it has DNS Query Forwarding enabled.

            So if Forwarding is not enabled where does the Resolver resolve from?  The system itself?

              It talks to the root servers directly and then walks the chain to the authoritative server.

                Kom-  Thank you!

                Beavis-  select the IPv6 link locals as well.

                    Completely useless info. What errors exactly? Why would you be resolving IPv6 at all with no IPv6 set up anywhere?

                      Yes I don't understand why resolver is using IP6. I have disabled IP6 every where and also added manually do-ip6: no to unbound.conf file.
                      But every time when I change something in pfsense->services->dns resolver and save and hit apply it changes do-ip6: yes in config file.

                      nslookup is only giving time out on every host and pfsense itself.

                      This is from resolver.log:

                        I lost my patience with this and moved back to forwarder.
                        It works like supposed, no strage ip6 issues.
