tcp error for address xxxx port 853

chudak

I see lots of posts but no conclusive solution, so asking experts here.

I am using SSL/TLS for outgoing DNS Queries and see errors:

unbound 67011:3 debug: tcp error for address xxxx port 853

It's the same for 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1

Anybody knows how to fix it ?

Thx

johnpoz

Where are these posts with no solutions exactly?

And lets set your setup.. What version of pfsense are you using exactly? Do you have some vpn setup where all your traffic is going over a vpn, what other packages if any are you running.

chudak

@johnpoz

2.4.4-RELEASE-p2

DNS server(s)
127.0.0.1
9.9.9.9
149.112.112.112

Resolver setup https://snag.gy/6MoRP1.jpg

I run OpenVNP server but no clients and don't think have traffic l going over.

Thx

So clearly your running pfblocker - which I asked about any packages. That for sure can cause a wrench to be thrown into unbound..

2nd you have dnssec enabled in forwarding mode - zero reason to do that.. whole thread about it recently where someone put together guide on setting up dns and tls.. When you forwarder to a resolver, if it supports dnssec its already doing it.. So you do not have to click that check box.

Do you have uncheck to let dhcp override your dns?

chudak

@johnpoz

Unchecked "Enable DNSSEC Support"

"Do you have uncheck to let dhcp override your dns?"
what do you mean ^ ?

Not sure what I can do about pfBNG

Thx!

Turn it OFF, uninstall it - do your errors go away? If so it has something to do with your configuration of pfblocker.

chudak

@johnpoz

My "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" is unchecked

I turned OFF pfBNG and still see errors in Resolver log:

Feb 12 13:48:38	unbound	79932:3	debug: tcp error for address 9.9.9.9 port 853
Feb 12 13:48:38	unbound	79932:3	debug: tcp error for address 149.112.112.112 port 853

Not sure if its related to this:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/138274/unbound-1-8-1-only-single-thread-processing-dns-requests

To disable this option, you need to add the following to: pfSense Resolver Adv. Custom options: (and save)

server:so-reuseport: no

Otherwise, try with pfSense 2.4.5 as it has Unbound 1.9.0

chudak

@bbcan177

Does not seem to make any difference:(

I wonder if this issue is easy reproducible...

My setup is pretty much out of the box

BBcan177

In Unbound Adv. Settings, increase the "Log Level" to "2" and "Save". Then review the resolver.log for any other clues.... And as a test disable OpenVPN and see if the error stops.

@bbcan177

Done
Not sure what is suspicious in it, maybe insecured

Thought you turned off dnssec?

You sure you don't have multiple copies running of unbound, and your config never got updated? Pfblocker can leave some hanging when it tries to update, etc.

Also that
server:so-reuseport: no

would have to do with how many threads, would not cause a tcp error...

I can not reproduce this problem... Enabling dns over tls is clickity clickity..

What other packages you have? Sorry but installing pfblocker is NOT OUT OF THE BOX... And when asked what packages you didn't even list that.. I only knew you were running it from its entry in your unbound screenshot.

So what else is not out of the box??

chudak

@johnpoz

Ack on so-reuseport: no, and remover it

I’m sure I run one pfsense, how can it be confirmed?
Would it help if I send you my config xml file?

“Enabling dns over tls is clickity clickity..”. Btw how do you test that it actually works fine?

johnpoz

sorry that was "typo" I changed it - meant unbound :) can not run multiple copies of pfsense ;) hehehe

Too late :)

johnpoz

what is output of this

sockstat | grep unbound

Also again going to ask are you running anything else?? Any other packages?

Unfortunately I can't easily disable vpn ATM

That looks normal..

Here I just turned with clickity clickity and ZERO errors..

I even did a query for that entry you posted up.. Notice nothing about insecure... No errors about tcp errors, etc..

Post up your dns servers you set - you didn't set a gateway did you?

Again for what possible reason or you running TLS local for??? That is just pointless!!! Who would be sniffing your dns traffic locally???
unbound unbound 94103 52 tcp4 127.0.0.1:853 :

Turn that OFF!!! Does that remove your errors?

chudak

@johnpoz ok ok done :)

"clickity clickity and ZERO errors.." that's in logs Resolver, what Log Level do you have set ?

johnpoz

2! It wouldn't show that info not at least that.

And Yes its the resolver log.... Where else would it be?
