Poor performance with 2.4.1
-
^^^^
I'll give those a try. DNS through pfSense has now failed completely. -
Didn't work. I still have complete DNS failure with pfSense. I cannot resolve either Internet or local host names. Something is clearly messed up here. Is there any way to revert back to 2.4.0?
-
For a test. Disable resolver and enable forwarder. See what happens.

That appears to work, though I no longer have the local hosts available through it.
-
Yeah - I'm having the same troubles on both a pfsense vm and opnsense vm. In vmware with a private IP at wan.
-
If there isn't a fix for the resolver soon, I'll have to copy all my local devices into the forwarder.
-
I think its a resolver specific issue and it will be fixed. til then, I like your fix.
-
No idea what you guys are doing. Resolver works fine in 2.4.1.

I updated to 2.4.1. I guess I shouldn't have done that.

Resolver works fine.
I just tried again and resolver does not work. Forwarder does. I have been using resolver almost since I started using pfSense 1.5 years ago but it now fails.
-
In my case, I think its something in the network at this one place giving unbound trouble. I haven't seen this anywhere else. Since in my case, its just for testing I didn't worry about it much. However in this 1 location both opnsense and pfsense had resolver issues, so I turned it off.
Went with dnsmasq on opnsense and forwarder on pfsense and suddenly it all worked. I think its something strange going on with the machine hosting the VMs in my case because this only happened in one place.
The only things odd about this install is its in vmware and the IP on the WAN is private. Like I said… For testing only, so no public on this one. Other than that, its vanilla as can be.

No problems with resolver here..
Prob timeouts with its ULA address.. Because your RA failed and its using your "backup" plan of ULA addresses..
How about some info on how its failing.. So you do a query for www.domainx.com and it doesn't walk down from roots? You looked in the cache of unbound for how it would look up this domain, what it has in its cache, etc. You sniffed on wan and don't see this, but there is nothing in the logs?
example
unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf lookup forum.pfsense.org The following name servers are used for lookup of forum.pfsense.org. ;rrset 1279 2 0 7 3 pfsense.org. 1279 IN NS ns2.netgate.com. pfsense.org. 1279 IN NS ns1.netgate.com. ;rrset 1279 1 0 8 0 ns1.netgate.com. 1279 IN A 192.207.126.6 ;rrset 84078 1 0 1 0 ns1.netgate.com. 170478 IN AAAA 2610:160:11:3::6 ;rrset 1279 1 0 8 0 ns2.netgate.com. 1279 IN A 162.208.119.38 ;rrset 84078 1 0 1 0 ns2.netgate.com. 170478 IN AAAA 2610:1c1:3::108 Delegation with 2 names, of which 0 can be examined to query further addresses.

[2.4.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local.lan]/root:Is there anything in the log for unbound? Did you up the verbosity of what it logs, etc..
Resolver does not work… Like telling your mechanic - car is broke..
-
For me, I wasn't all that worried because I was more interested in stepping through the menues and comparing menues, options, features of two firewall distros than anything. I need to move several older machines to something else when the AES-NI requirement kicks in.
I wonder what unbound would do if you turned off DNSSEC/hardening? I'm going to try because I suspect for me it could be an ISP issue.
-
I tried changing quite a few things in unbound but nothing works. This isn't specific to pfsense either. For these test VMs, I'm fine with forwarder. Done fooling with it.

"Done fooling with it."
Well from what you posted that's all you were doing with it anyway. I see no info from you either on what is not actually working? Nothing from logs, nothing from how it would look up anything. No checking to see if actually sends query to roots, and then walks down the tree, etc..
Does a dig +trace work from a client.. This would simulate walking down tree like unbound would do, etc.
example - I got rid of the dnssec info so it was cleaner looking trace

Not working.. Well just use forwarder then... Do you not want to know why something is not working? Could be something completely broken in your firewall causing the problem.. Could be your isp is intercepting your dns traffic, and while you think your forwarding to X.. Your really just getting whatever your ISP wants to send you.. Some simple testing would tell you why your having a problem with resolving.. Maybe your isp just blocks outbound to 53 and only allows their NS or specific NS, etc.??

I'm not running pfSense in a VM. It's a bare metal install on a computer.

Well, prior to 2.4.1, resolver worked fine but failed immediately on the upgrade and I hadn't changed anything else. Sure sounds like a resolver issue to me.

While I would like to know what caused the problem and how to fix it, having a working network is more important. Switching to forwarder does that. I think it's extremely unlikely that my ISP would change things at the precise time I upgraded to 2.4.1.

Yep - I'm just mashing random buttons on this thing… Like a monkey with a keyboard.
I will figure it out eventually. It isn't anything simple. -

I'm wondering if the ISP can somehow break this?
