      Hi Netgate,

      what cause to be changed automatically the local DNS in Netgate sg-3100, DNS was from 127.0.0.1 to DNS is 192.168.2.99, is this a normal behavior from the recent update, what can we do to keep the DNS in 127.0.0.1?

        and I can proof it : install a new "pfSense" and you will see what the images shows.
        Up until the 'admin starts changing things ;)

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

            the symptom

            If you car turns left, it's because the person who's driving is turning the steering wheel to the left.
            Same thing for DNS settings : they change from default when the admin changes them.
            If you' re not happy with what you changed, undo them.

            Your example : where does this "192.168.2.99" come from ?

              @gertjan We set the DNS to local DNS server which is the 127.0.0.1 but from some point it became 193.0.14.129 which somewhat located in Europe.

              My apologies for the wrong address that I posted, disregard that please. Thank you

                  If not done explicitly by you, I suspect pfSense added the setting from you ISP when setting up your WAN

                    That happens when this option

                    is checked.
                    It should not be checked.
