      Hi, yes I do have an allow all rule enabled on all LAN interfaces.

      Note: I do have pfBlocker installed and configured but have since disabled it completely.

        This should not be a problem.

        but...

        Resolver and or forwarder? settings are correct?

        what this shows for example:

        and / or

        +++edit:

        jah,.... and why are you disabling the GW monitor action?

        +++edit2:
        note, you should see something like this...

          If I include the @ 1.1.1.1 it gives an error(no route to 1.1.1.1), without the @1.1.1.1 it resolves bbc.com via unbound.

            One of the troubleshooting steps I tried, have since enabled it again without success.

              gotcha... - you have no DNS resolution at the moment
              Okhay, I show you.... 😉

              you do not have to use CF DNS - choose what you want

              642528d6-ad37-4812-80ac-cbe5491f1db2-image.png

              1. network interfaces to the internals (LAN, OPT1, OPT2, etc,)
              2. Outgoing Intf.s (WAN, WAN2 or VPN intf., etc.)

              +++edit:

              Unbound in forwarding mode!

              pls. on GENERAL TAB + DNS servers + DNS behavior = USE REMOTE DNS SERVERS!!!

              Cats bury it so they can't see it!

                CF is my 2nd choice for DNS provider:

                    Yes its enabled (should it be enabled or disabled? I assume it should be enabled)

                      don't touch it 😉
                      this is correct if you want to use third party DNS (like CloudFlare 1.1.1.1) instead of root servers

                      the problem will be with this: ( System / General Setup)

                        @daddygo I just did my 7th restart of the ONT and re-socket of the Ethernet cable, internet is working now. No idea what it could be, maybe a faulty ONT or NIC🤔

                          that doesn't fix your DNS setting, just look up your Dig
