Google.com blocked but local google domains are not....
-
I had a similar issue about couple of days ago but couldn’t find any issue with pfSense as I could do ping trace etc. It sorted itself out the next day.
I don’t think it’s a pfSense issue.
I have one of the VLANs setup for testing purposes bypassing Suricata and DNSBL. So I can test if there is any problem accessing websites (without upsetting my wife
)Hope it helps !

So to be clear you are RDPing to a machine at your office and testing from that machine?
That is where all your traceroutes pings etc are run? Not locally?

It did here also until it stopped again. I cant wrap ny head around it. Stopping and clearing Suricata blocks... stopping DNSBL and it still doesnt work

Are you tracing to the correct IP?
Your not showing the traceroute command.
So clearly you have a route - so why does your fetch say no route?
There is a piece to this puzzle that is missing - and once figure that out.. Its going to be a D'OH! moment..
I got that.... its funny HAHAHAHAHA
-
@cool_corona did you disable Suricata and pf blocker and restart pfSense.
Also try from a non Windows machine as windows machines can drive you crazy when testing something like this. -
@rameshk I dont have any other than windows machines to test on.
I have rebooted, disabled, rebooted to no avail.

Still need to see exactly what's happening there.
Previously it looked like you could ping www.google.com but fetch returned 'no route to host' which seems impossible!
Try doing those things consecutively.Steve
-
@cool_corona Ohh that’s a shame. I use Ubuntu laptop for diagnostic purposes as it’s lot easier. Windows got their mindset and make life harder at times.
Did you check any other search engines I.e bing

Anything else than google.com works no issues.

Indeed it should be impossible but its apparently not.

@cool_corona
Please check DNSBL whitelist to see whether there is any entry for google.com
It looks like google.com is blocked somewhere unintentionally.
Packet capture and Wireshark are your friends. Keep us updated.
Wish you good luck.
-
Can you show us the output of those two tests at the pfSense CLI?

Hi
What tests exactly?
-
@Cool_Corona , try manual add your DNS servers on network properties .
e.g. Quad9 : 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112After that, blocked your local Global Google Cache (GGC) ip ranges that are being use by your ISP.
google.com and www.google.com both are the same.

-
Forwarding to root servers ?
Now that's something I've missed in the pfSense manual .......
-
Mmm, yeah don't do that. Just use Unbound in resolving mode at least as a test.
Make sure you do not have dns behavior set to ignore local DNS in General Setup.However 'no route to host' is not a DNS problem.
Please run at the console:
ping www.google.com
then
fetch -o /dev/null https://www.google.comFrom you previous responces it looks like the ping succeeded but fetch shows no route to host which is hard to believe.
