DNS with iOS
-
yeah i am, i was just hoping someone had seen this before. The people in this forum are a lot smarter than most.
-
Nope never seen such a thing... Been using iphone and ipad with pfsense for like ever..
-
Mmm, that does seem odd. Do the affected clients always show that? It could just be a display issue with the app.
I've not seen anything like that either.

@stephenw10 I also thought it could just be a display issue. But performance was bad when i set dns to automatic, and when i set it to manual, the performance was good and the display was correct.
Its seems like ios is getting/parsing and blank entry for dns, that eventually times out and it moves on to the next server in the list which is successful.

What version of ios are you running?
What happens if you set your dhcp server to just 1 IP?
-
12.2
-
And you have multiple devices doing this?
What does it look like under automatic? Do you have blank lines... Not the HE display, the normal wifi little i button when your connected.
-
Thats the 4th screen shot i posted, under automatic it look completely normal
-
What if you just turn off IPv6... You sure HE not just able to show the really long IPv6 addresses..
-
sure i can try.
But that wouldnt explain why it takes me less than a second eyeballing to to get a dns entry when it is set to manual in ios. and i just counted 8 seconds when it was set to automatic. Same domain each time that would be cached by the upstream.
Either way this is clearly not a pfsense issue but an iOS.
-
well when you manually set it only going to do ipv4?
Turn off ipv6.. Does that make your issue go away?
With ipv6 still off, set ipv4 to only 1 dns.. You sure this dns is working ;)
