DNS Unbound errors - No route to host --IPv6
-
Hi you can add to DNS Resolver under Custom Options this:
do-ip6:no
save and those errors should dissapear.
Kind Regards,

@fireodo Thank you for the quick reply! much appreciated :)

@suudoxr unable to reproduce your issue
Could you provide more info about your Interfaces and DNS Resolver configuration? -
@viktor_g
Apologies if there is a better method than screenshot frenzy but here is my interfaces and DNS resolver config. I don't believe anything in the advanced DNS resolver tab has been altered:
I do have a couple of VLAN interfaces but they are not enabled (I can confirm they errors still persist with them turned off so not related).
Thanks for your time :)

Why tracking on the LAN the WAN for IPv6 ?
If the WAN has no IPv6 , why doing 'IPv6' on LAN ?
-
@gertjan Hello thanks for replying!
Just so I can learn and understand are you suggesting that this would explain the unbound errors because my ISP does not offer Ipv6? Or is this just an observation and a separate misconfiguration that could be improved?
As for why its on it was default option when I setup the interface so just haven't disabled it, happy to switch of if unnecessary.
Thanks!

No IPv6 on WAN, so this option can't be used :
See https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/interfaces/configure-ipv6.html

Have you tried to add to DNS Resolver under Custom Options this:
"do-ip6:no" ?
and restart the resolver?

@gertjan Ok thanks I have set that to none now, will see what changes.
@fireodo I did set that and whilst they did go to aid @viktor_g I have removed it for now to allow him to see if he can re-create. Although I do wonder why it was still failing and just telling it not to do ipv6 is a solution im still curious as to the reason :)

No IPv6 on WAN -> no IPv6 resolution from Resolver

@fireodo right ok, so do I need to be looking at why something on my LAN is trying to go out to IPv6? Now that I have turned off Ipv6 tracking on LAN will that prevent that?
Thanks very much to all for the assistance so far, learning as we go :D

No, there is nothing from your LAN that want to go out to IPv6 but the resolver (unbound) try to resolve IPv4 AND IPv6.

You're welcome!

Something on your LAN - a device that is IPv6 capable - would try to use pfSense if pfSense would announce on your LAN that it is a IPv6 gateway.
Which isn't the case, because you do not have a IPv6 connection to the net.
This doesn't mean that many devices on your LAN use IPv6 among themselves, as any modern OS prefers IPv6 over IPv4.
