      Hi,
      I have a problem to get answer from a DNS (pfsense's DNS) over an IPsec connection.

      • I set up ipsec on both side
      • I can ping machines from one network to the other (pfsenses' LAN addresses as well)
      • I set DNS to answer on it's LAN address (it works for machine in the LAN)
      • I add a floating firewall rule to all port 53 (tcp/udp)
        -> however I still get a REFUSED on nslookup when trying to resolve a domain from one site to the other side's DNS

      Any idea ? did I miss a step or something ?

        I had to create a access list of subnets allowed on my dns resolver.
