      And what is this ipv6 IP its pointing too? Are you running ipv6?

      dhcpv4 doesn't hand out IPv6 dns! That would be via dhcpv6, or IPv6 can get its dns from SLAAC.. Via the RA.

          fe80 is link local address. If you don't use ipv6, are you on windows - then uncheck for it to be used in your interface configuration.

            I have some visitor, and I don't want to Config anything in clients.
            Note : when I plug any client directly to ISP router the connexion work fine.

              Well your prob handing out RA via pfsense.. Or some other device and that is how your clients are getting the IPv6 dns.

                That's a link local address and if you don't have IPv6 it won't be used for much. You can ignore it. Every IPv6 capable device will have one of those.

                  That is where is dns is pointing to, while I agree he should switch over to his other IPv4 dns when that doesn't answer. Its still not optimal to have IPv6 that doesn't work configured.

                  Either fix it so it works, or disable it is best... If he has no working IPv6 he shouldn't be handing link-local out for NS via RA..

                    Thinks for your responses.
                    How-to disable Ipv6 or how-to Config RA.
                    I'm sorry, I don't understand very well Ipv6 and I don't use it.

                      How did that happen, unless someone configured it somewhere. An IPv4 DHCP server cannot be configured to do that and there would have to be IPv6 enabled on the network, not just LL addresses, for it to be configured on a router.

                      If he has no working IPv6 he shouldn't be handing link-local out for NS via RA..

                      If IPv6 is not enabled on the network, there shouldn't be any RAs to provide a DNS address. If there are RAs, there's an IPv6 enabled router somewhere.

                        Before we get all nuts... Lets make sure you just didn't set this on the client..

                        Lets see the output of ipconfig /all

                            And do you have dhvpv6 or RA enabled on pfsense?

                                What about the RA tab? IPv6 can use RDNSS to provide the DNS address.

                                  Yeah but RAs would have to be running..

                                  Do you see radvd running in Status / Services

                                  Its not suppose to run if you don't have IPv6 setup on your lan interfaces.. Simple enough to sniff to see if your seeing the RAs - and from where..

                                    Well, it's coming from somewhere. The OP can run Packet Capture or Wireshark, filtering on ICMP6, to see where and find out the MAC address.

                                      ^ agreed, which is why I gave an example of doing just that!

                                      The sniff will give us positive proof/info of where its coming from.

                                          Well open that RA up and look at it with wireshark... Your dump not showing enough info.

                                            Sorry for the long time to response because i was very busy and i take a time to understand wireshark and a little ipv6 😋. The problem come from another router that i disabled his dhcp service to use it as AP (wireless). Then i disabled its ipv6 to resolve the problem.
