OpenDNS and Static Addresses
-
–edit with attachments
Hello --
I followed this guidehttps://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=112288.msg738792#msg738792 to enable OpenDNS filtering on the firewall and everything is blocking just like I want.I do have some static IP's set up on the LAN side that I've specified to use another DNS server so that they are not blocked by OpenDNS but this doesn't seem to be working.
For Reference
I have the following DNS servers setup in General for OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220DNS Server Override = Unchecked
Disable DNS Forwarder = CheckedServices / DNS Resolver / General / Settings
Enable = UncheckedServices / DNS Forwarder
Enable = Checked
All Default OptionsWhen I run ipconfig /all on the Windows machine that I don't want to be blocked by OpenDNS, I see the 4 DNS servers that I specified in the static lease, but there's also an IPv6 address at the top of the list that I don't recognize. Could that be the issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Ok, but who is forwarding to OpenDNS now ?
Add to that : no Forwarder, no Resolver, and you checked "Disable DNS Forwarder" in General setup, so pfSense itself can't "DNS" anymore.
I would call Houston now …. -
OpenDNS is set as the default DNS in General. It seems as if new IP’s that come on to the network use that OpenDNS unless specifically set to use a different DNS in the Static IP mapping. Is that not how it works? Any help is appreciated. ;D my noob status is confirmed.
