      gotcha... - you have no DNS resolution at the moment
      Okhay, I show you.... ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

      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!

          this is not relevant now๐Ÿ˜‰

          Unbound in forwarding mode! (at least that's what's on the PRTSC you showed me)

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

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

              don't touch it ๐Ÿ˜‰
              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 NIC๐Ÿค”

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

                        Nope it isn't
                        The DNS Resolution Behavior is also set to "Use remote DNS servers, Ignore local DNS"

                        Will check it out tnx!

                        I used Lawrence Systems on youtube's guide on configuring pfBlocker and other areas.
