      Strange.

      "Windows" has a list of DNS servers : 2 local (1 IPv4 and some sort of IPv6) and 2 remote.
      Still, it look like it persist on using IPv6 only - hitting the firewall on pfsense.

      What are your LAN2 settings ?

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Why are you using ULA?

        Here is what I would suggest, disable IPv6 - does that fix your problem.. Is unbound listening on ipv6?

        When your ready to correctly setup IPv6, then enable it.

          @johnpoz My exact thoughts. Makes no sense to use ULA without specific reason that way and then blocking it on the gateway :)

            Just at loss myself to why you would setup ULA and then block ipv6.. So yeah dns not going to work ipv6 when you don't allow it to even talk to pfsense to query anything on ipv6.

            I am a fan of ipv6, and run it on a few of my segments. But if you do not take the time to correctly set it up, then yeah your going to have a bad day.

            Until your ready to take the time, you will reduce the grief level by just turning it off.. windows makes it easy with as simple reg entry.

            So either he did not show full output of ipconfig /all or he did take the time to disable the transition interfaces teredo, isatap and 6to4 since out of the box those are going to be there on windows machine but he is not showing them.

              I disabled blocking IPV6 on firewall rules. but we are still having the same issue. Actually in our organization and also in our country we prefer to use IPV4. We have the same rules in LAN2 network as in LAN Network. LAN network is working okay. If I uncheckIPV6 in network adapter settings, then it begins to work.

                I advise you to look up how to inform your "Win 10 K" stations about this (very conservative) strategy ;)
                Recent OS's do prefer IPv6 above IPv4.

                But, I agree, there is a real problem. Your "Win 10 K" are not showing a default behavior : if IPv6 (DNS access) doesn't work, try the IPv4 (DNS access).
                Your PC's insists on using IPv6 for resolving and that's it.
                Why this only happens on interface OPT1and not LAN .... beats me.

                  Then just turn off IPv6 at the machine level = problem solved. There is zero resources that are only available on ipv6 on the internet. And those would only be darkweb and p0rn sort of sites. When google and amazon, netflix, etc. Become ipv6 only then yeah your going to need to run ipv6. Til then there is nothing saying you have to have it on.

                  Simple reg entry you can push out with group policy if you want turns it pretty much off and gets rid of all the nonsense interfaces as well teredo - which you show a address on. So that can be a security concern if you trying to block outbound access since it can tunnel out via that.

                  reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip6\parameters /v DisabledComponents /t REG_DWORD /d 255

                    Thank you very much for your help. I turned of IPV6 on my Windows machine, now it is working. But when I enter nslookup command in cmd on LAN network, it returns:

                    C:\Users\e.mammadov>nslookup microsoft.com
                    Server: pfsense.smart.az
                    Address: 192.168.2.1

                    Non-authoritative answer:
                    Name: microsoft.com
                    Addresses: 104.40.211.35
                    104.43.195.251

                    nslookup on LAN2 network:
                    C:\Users\Elvin>nslookup microsoft.com
                    Server: UnKnown
                    Address: 192.168.4.1

                    Non-authoritative answer:
                    Name: microsoft.com
                    Addresses: 104.40.211.35
                    104.43.195.251
                    23.100.122.175

                    Is it normal? in Lan network nslookup command returns the fqdn of pfsense (Server: pfsense.smart.az), but on Lan2 network it is unknown (Server: UnKnown).

                      You would need to create a host override for that IP of pfsense if you want it to return a ptr.

                      What I do is setup subdomain telling me which vlan a different IP is.

                      example.

                      server 192.168.2.253
                      Default Server: sg4860.wlan.local.lan
                      Address: 192.168.2.253

                      server 192.168.3.253
                      Default Server: sg4860.dmz.local.lan
                      Address: 192.168.3.253

                      server 192.168.9.253
                      Default Server: sg4860.local.lan
                      Address: 192.168.9.253
