No traffic on DNS rule?

gratis.obake

Greetings everyone!

Going direct to the problem, I have images (attachments) below that will tell all. Its my Traffic Shaper, My Floating, and a putty session to my pfSense box accessing pfTOP.

as you can see from the pfTop screenshot, no traffic is passing to my qDNS queue, what I did wrong?

floating rule is placed to the bottom most place and also have a "quick" enabled

I also did a reset states but it will still not have a traffic for qDNS.

can anyone help out?

Quick means nothing on a match rule (if processing stopped there the traffic would never be passed). Something else must be matching the traffic. What interface(s) are those rules on?

I would put those on floating WAN out without being source limited. Unless you want to prefer DNS queries for one LAN and not another.

If quick does do nothing, then why its there?

I will try to see it again the rules regarding if there are any rules that may match it, but I have read that somewhere here on the forums that on floating rules last match wins, that is why I placed it on the bottom part.

on your last paragraph, how can I implement that? and I don't clearly understand it, I hope you can shed more info on this, thanks

On your floating rules, for each one change the interface to WAN, and set the Source from LAN net to any.

Quick is here for pass and block rules.

thank you on that info, let me try that out.

thank you as well for this, I will note it.
Anyways, should it be also reflected on the pfSense docs?

okay, I have cheated a bit and only changed my qDNS entires, qDNS now is populated and it seems to work now as I try to browse the net and try to observe it (refer to attached image).

and for what I notice, qDNS on the LAN side does not have any activity, is this okay?
