      Can you show us the output of those two tests at the pfSense CLI?

        @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.

            @Cool_Corona , try manual add your DNS servers on network properties .
            e.g. Quad9 : 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112

            After 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 .......

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

                  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.com

                  From you previous responces it looks like the ping succeeded but fetch shows no route to host which is hard to believe.

                      Aha, permission denied!

                      Something is blocking the traffic. No 1 suspect is Snort/Suricata since it's from the firewall itself.

                      Are you running either of those? Or may be were and the blocked hosts table still has entries?

                        @stephenw10 I bet its because I dont allow ping on the interface. It resolves the IP as it should.

                          What? You have something borked up that is for sure.. Have zero clue to what your attempting with those dns settings... That in a million years would never work, those servers are not recursive..

                            Permission denied like that is almost always blocked outbound traffic and there is not much that can do that. But Snort is something that can. Are running it?
