WPAD record under windows 2012 AD DNS
-
Hi people.
I have a environment of windows boxes manage by a AD with Windows 2012, they manage their dns for the AD pfsense dns stuff is turn off.
Here we have squid+squidGuard working, I'm trying to figure out how to add the WPAD record under Windows DNS for pfsense wpad.mydomain.net.
I try to follow some manuals but the DNS won't allow me add a WPAD record.
Some could help me to point how to add a record in windows 2012 dns server for our pfsense as wpad service? :)
Running Pfsense 2.4.1.
Thanks for your time.

What do you mean? You don't have admin rights on this server? Just add an A record for wpad.your.domain and set it to the IP of the HTTP server that has the wpad.dat and proxy.pac files.
You can serve it to DHCP users via option 252, but I don't know which clients pay attention to that.

You can also push WPAD via GPO

Yes, I have admin rights.
For some reason the DNS don't allow me to add a wpad record.
I will follow the links u share and let u know my results, thanks. -
For some reason, I remember Windows Server 2012 DNS being a pain when it comes to wpad entries…
If I am not mistaken, due to the potential for abuse of WPAD on a network, Windows Server makes it difficult to add these records as they are in the Global Query Block List.
The following may be of some assistance...
