      Yes
      This shows that your Windows is using resolver1.opendns.com for DNS resolution.
      Now do dig amoffers.hasoffers.com in    Diagnostics / Command Prompt

      Next check / post  your DNS Resolver configuration

      This? lol sorry not very good at this

        So pfsense DNSBL is doing it's job on pfsense.
        It's your device that is not using pfsense for DNS resolution. Does it get it's IP from pfsense via DHCP ?
        What kind of antivirus / internet security are you using on your Windows. Some like AVG provide there own solution for DNS :

        @BBcan177:

        @xphiles:

        so after much troubleshooting and trying things at the firewall level, i disabled my full avg protection and it works on the host(s) in question. so I have to granularly figure out which service in AVG is messing up my dns

        I think this is what you were looking for:
            https://help.avg.com/en/avg_free/17/securityantivirus_securedns.html

        2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)

          Yes every device has an IP from pfsense and zero antivirus / security

            Check what DNS server is configured in the DHCP service. Leave empty to use pfsense config

                Un-plug/re-plug the ethernet cable will do the same.
                Or in Windows cmd  run "ipconfig /renew"
                "ipconfig" alone will show you the configuration

                    Well that something you may want to use to bypass your ISP DNS server, or to provide Parental control that some DNS services provide.

                    You could still use OpenDNS by using the Forwarding mode of pfsense DNS Resolver, but this mode requires all DNS servers used in forwarding mode to support DNSSEC.

                    On the other end, unbound talk to the root server so it's provide "clean" and fast DNS Service.

                      yea I did try Forwarding mode but pfblocker did not work with it on and resolver off :)

                        Unbound can be used in "Forwarder" or "Resolver" mode…  So don't get that mixed up with DNSMasq which is a "Forwarder" only... :)
