[SOLVED] Weird DNS Problem
-
@stephenw10 Yes, I thought that, too, and I tried it, but it didn't work. In fact, I tried opening up everything between pfsense and LAN, yet still no joy. But thanks for that observation about how Unbound works in supporting DNSSec. I think you're right: That's probably what caused the problem.
-
@eveningstarnm did you ever get the solution to this? I have in production at home, and on the whole the dns works but i have just discovered this same problem with the download-c.huawei.com in debug logging, i can see the request from the client and the requests resolves on the server correctly. also from the pfsense diag screen. however, on a win10 machine, i receive DNS Request timeout, timeout was 2sec.
the machine originally had comodo dns servers set, but they are trapped and redirected on pfsense.
nevertheless, i change the dns to on the client to pfsense and it makes no difference.p.s. i might add, if i switch DNS Query Forwarding on. it works.

like i said, if i use dns lookup on the pfsense fiag box, it resolve per yours. (both with/without forwarding)
Only the client side, it resolves with forwarding and does not without forwarding..i am using unboundvery strange indeed..... hence the original poster's Weird DNS Problem - but he didn't write how he solved it
-
That resolves just fine on my win 10 box.. My guess is their nonsense with no glue for their IPv6 and your trying to access via IPv6? Their DNS is freaking HORRIBLE!!! That anyone can get there is just freaking amazing ;)
even going through pihole

@johnpoz i have IPv6 disabled on everything inc my clients

so do either a debug on nslookp or grab dig and do a trace and see what is failing or just getting there?
If I click what you posted I get
Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx.So have no idea what you think is suppose to be there or what is suppose to get there?
edit:
Not sure what his issue was.. He rule to any to wan wouldn't of even allowed internet at all, etc. His domain resolved just fine as well - but again a nightmare of errors... cname mess as wellMaybe he had qminimization on? Have no idea with the lack of info given.
If pfsense resolves it fine, and client asks pfsense then pfsense will hand to client what it got... If you want help in finding your issue going to have to give a bit more than client can not resolve.. For all we know your clients using some proxy, etc. Do you get a time out from pfsense? Do you get a NX, etc. etc..
-
Ha, seems legit!
-
Yeah that any legit company would have such a NIGHTMARE MESS for their dns is just SAD!!!
But it does resolve - so without some more info.. there is nothing can tell you. On what your actual issue might or might not be?
You sure your pointing pfsense to itself.. See it all the time where clients point pfsense to some external when they are running resolver.. When you resolve you might have issue resolving if you can not actually talk to the NS for the domain, and with so many cnames your going to have to talk to many NS ;) failure or time out to any one of them in that chain could cause you grief in resolving.
Do a simple +trace to see where you might be having issue.
Here is trace - but its only 1st leg, since there are 2 more cnames!! Arrrggh

You seem to be testing against localhost. What do you have running on the client? How is that configured?
What do you see if you test against the pfSense interface IP?
Steve
-
that is what it returns. both the windows and linux clients are DHCP with the gateway pointing to the LAN interface address. for the DNS, the linux points to the LAN interface address and for windows, it has static comodo firewall servers defined.
on the pfsense box
NAT is
LAN UDP * * !LOCAL DNS 127.0.0.1 DNS
** it didn't work at all when i used the LAN interface for the NAT IP. It only works if i use 127Rules are
IPv4 TCP/UDP LAN * This Firewall DNS, VPN Gateway
** if i change the gateway to default, the results are the samethe only thing strange i notice on the windows client, (forwarding enabled)

@johnpoz said in [SOLVED] Weird DNS Problem:
Server: pi-hole.local.lan
I see in John's windows lookup above, he gets Server: pi-hole.local.lan returned, where as mine is unknown.could it be something wrong, with my NAT or Rules above?

Well try dig @pfSense_interface and see how that changes between modes.

Mmm, well that's fun!
Check the Unbound logs when that fails. Might need to turn up the logging.
Do you see any DNS traffic blocked anywhere?Steve
