      I am at an absolute loss on why this isn't working or how I go about fixing it. I'm unable to connect to http://georgesriver.nsw.gov.au and the root cause is the DNS resolver.

      If you have a look the following nslookups, you can see that it fails when it hits the pfsense resolver, yet successfully resolves on 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1. I've even tried a couple of other *.nsw.gov.au domains and the pfsense resolver works as expected.

      When I use the DNS Diagnostic tool in pfsense, it resolves correctly.

      I've restarted the DNS resolver, and even restarted pfsense without any luck.

      Any ideas?

        Firefox is telling me "The connection was reset".

                @jknott Do you mean that nslookup on www.canadiantire.ca timed out but can browse?

                  If you look here you can see that the resolver and the other DNS I have seem to agree. Otherwise the output from this page would disagree.

                    Try it this way instead.

                    http://www.georgesriver.nsw.gov.au/Home

                    The noaa site does this to us as well at a couple of links.

                      I've managed to get it working by allowing this option.

                      0_1545284212829_DNS Forwading.jpg

                      From the documention:

                      Enable Forwarding Mode: Controls whether Unbound will query root servers directly (unchecked, disabled) or if queries will be forwarded to the upstream DNS servers defined under System > General or those obtained by DHCP/PPPoE/etc (checked, enabled). Forwarding mode may be enabled if the upstream DNS servers are trusted and also provide DNSSEC support.

                      I'm guessing some kind of error with my resolver querying the root server for this domain directly.
                      Anyone know how I can debug this?

                        @johnkap I see enabling Forwarding Mode more as a workaround. Another workaround would be to enable DoH in my browser.

                          @johnkap Is there anything of note in Status - System Logs - System - DNS Resolver?

                              If your having problems with something resolving - validate its not an issue with their dnssec setup
                              http://dnsviz.net/d/georgesriver.nsw.gov.au/dnssec/

                              Do a +trace with a real dns tool like dig so you can see where the resolving problem fails..

                                It works with https.

                                They need to set up a redirect for http as well.

                                  @johnpoz thanks for the +trace option on dig, wasn't aware of that.

                                  Note the last line - connection timed out; no servers could be reached any idea what would be causing that?

                                      @johnpoz said in DNS Resolver won't resolve georgesriver.nsw.gov.au:

                                      georgesriver.nsw.gov.au

                                      When I do dig with +trace I just get back. What to do?

                                      ;; global options: +cmd
