      when trying to open my unraid server "//Server" it fails but if i open //192.168.10.100 then it works fine server name is server and shows in network in windows 10

      i know its not a pfsense issue but network related

      This site can’t be reached

      server’s server DNS address could not be found.
      Did you mean http://server.com/?
      Search Google for server

      regards craig

        setup up a host override in pfsense for server.whatever.tld your local domain is then you will be able to access http://server.whatever.tld that is if your nas uses http.  If your trying to just access a file share via unc you could still do \server.whatever.tld

        For example I access my storage server via \storage.local.lan
