Unable to get DNS on VLAN working

Unable to get DNS on VLANs to work :
I am having real issues with getting DNS to work on VLANS. I have attached a doc that shows the config I have:
Diagnosis:
-
Configured mac for direct connection to LAN with DHCP - DNS works
-
Setup with VLAN VSLOOKUP does not work however I am able to ping 9.9.9.9 which suggests to me that DNS on VLAN is not working
-
Checked that I can do DNS lookup under diagnostics it works
-
Tried various Firewall rules
-
Have setup DNS resolver
As mentioned the topology and screenshots are attached. Would very much appreciate some advice.

There is nothing attached... and really a pptx?
Mike[0_1544708681553_DNS Error.pptx](Uploading 75%)Out of the box unbound will listen on all interfaces.. Out of the box it will auto create ACL for your networks.. Out of the box a vlan interface will have NO rules so you would have to allow access to dns on that vlan to pfsense vlan address.
Post up your images as images, and not some power point and will be happy to help you figure out where you went wrong.
I am able to ping 9.9.9.9 which suggests to me that DNS on VLAN is not working
Huh?? That just makes no sense at all!! Pinging 9.9.9.9 has ZERO to do with dns at all..

John,
attached are some images of the network and screenshots. Rules have been created on VLAN.
Regards and thanks,

dude post up something can actually SEE!!!
Can not make any of those out...
How is anyone suppose to be able to make those out?

Disable your first and second rule.
Save. Apply.
DNS goes through ?edit : Probably not related : What are your intentions with the "Custom Options" on the DNS General Settings page ?
-
Ok this did not work. I can ping 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 but cannot do name resolution (NSLOOKUP does not work). Directly connected avoiding VLAN, all works.
-
Nslookup doesn't work where? You have setup tls forwarding. Can pfsense resolve using that - test with dns lookup under diagnostics..
Can your client talk to pfsense even for dns... do a simple query for say pfsense own name.. Does that resolve?

Make your third rule a "pass-all". Change the source "VLAN30 net" for "any" or "*".
Now your firewall is transparent for everything as long as it is "IPv4".Rule 1 and 2 are disabled, right ??
It should work.
If not, the issue is : your VLAN settings (pfsense and/or your switch).
Btw : easy to check if unbound is listening on the "VLAN30" network.
sockstat -4 -l | grep "53"I check my interface "192.168.2.1" (my OPT1 interface) :
dig @192.168.2.1 microsoft.com +short 40.112.72.205 40.113.200.201 104.215.148.63 13.77.161.179 40.76.4.15dig will hit 192.168.2.1 using port 53.

John,
NSLOOKUP does not work under VLAN30 but does work under direct connection to LAN
I setup TLS forwarding so that I can secure my DNS comms with providers
DNS lookup under diagnostics works (see attached)
Did a simple query to Pfsense on Corporate LAN worked, under VLAN30 failed
-
I did this on VLAN30 and didn't work I am dirrectly connecting my Mac onto VLAN30 before I connect to USG switch to test everything works

Well as already asked did you dick with your ACLs for unbound.. Did you validate its actually listening on your vlan30 interface?
Do you have any rules floating rules that would be blocking or any port forwards to redirect dns?
If unbound is listening on the interface, and you all it on firewall rules.. If unbound doesn't allow you to query then you would get a REFUSED... But since you used the +short can not be sure what the actual details are.
BTW: 3.5ms is a pretty shitty local network ping response..

And your 2nd upload didn't work!

John,
Found it, the original config was correct, had a firewall on the Mac that was preventing this. My apologies for taking up your time on this matter. As soon as this was disabled all worked.
Regards,
Mike
