      so your still seeing the tonic.to stuff in your trace? Seems like your dns cache has been poisoned maybe?

        do a dig +trace to ns1.fmlh.edu

        LMFAO Here is where the to has been coming from. I've been executing the command "dig +trace to ns1.fmlh.edu"

              A simple thing to test : when you shut down your VPN (client) : does the problem persists ?

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    Well once you have the correct ns cached for the domain, you don't have to go ask again.. Which is why I mentioned poisoning..

                    Also how did you set resolver to only use wan?

                    Also are you pulling routes from your vpn? This makes your vpn default, even if not policy routed. Did you actually change the resolver to only use wan, or did you set it to all? etc..

                    Posting a lot of text can sometimes be seen as spam.

                      I went to services, DNS resolver, network interface was already set to ALL. I changed outgoing network interface from PIA_VPN to WAN.

                        network interface was already set to ALL

                        No it wasn't - from your screenshot.

                        See here
                        vpn.png

                        Not talking about the inbound to unbound, only outbound.

                        I would restart unbound, set it back to the way you had it.. do the trace again - are you seeing those tonic.to in the trace again?

                        It could of been a red herring with your vpn - and just that you had cache poisoned already.. You need to make sure you flush your unbound cache.. A restart of unbound will do that for you - just need to make sure it actually restarts, etc.

                          Right there is also a section above that and it’s set to all. I now have the outgoing to WAN.

                            Well if everything is working that way - set it back to your vpn path for outgoing, and flush - are you seeing the problem with the tonic.to in the trace? If so something really wrong if your vpn connection!! And they are manipulating your dns queries.

                                huh?

                                Here is where the to has been coming from. I've been executing the command "dig +trace to ns1.fmlh.edu"

                                tonic.to should be no where in a trace to that..

                                Nor to your original fqdn..

                                  While executing the command I actually typed in “dig +trace to ns1.fmlh.edu” instead of “dig +trace ns1.fmlh.edu”
