      After upgrading to 2.4.4 my LAN clients are unable to resolve any addresses. There were interferences with haproxy, I uninstalled the package.
      I then upgraded to 2.4.5, same issue.

      DNS Resolver is running with Forwarding mode enabled.

      pfsense can perfectly resolve:

      Result Record type
      172.217.21.238 A
      2a00:1450:4001:815::200e AAAA
      Timings
      Name server Query time
      127.0.0.1 20 msec
      208.67.222.222 7 msec
      208.67.220.220 7 msec
      8.8.8.8 11 msec

      DHCP Server has OpenDNS servers filled in.

      Tests on one of the lan clients:
      ping 8.8.8.8
      PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
      ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
      Meaning this is not a DNS issue.

      Outbound NAT mode is automatic, and the rule is still present.

      Any help much appreciated, I'm at a loss.

        ping 8.8.8.8 does not need DNS to function. The Network is unreachable however seems to indicate that you have some kind of routing issue.. Please check if you have a default-gateway configured on system/routing page.

            The Routing log shows this:
            32990 attempting to reread config file
            radvd 32990 invalid all-zeros prefix in /var/etc/radvd.conf, line 9

              Okay, that might indicate some issue with IPv6.. Does your ISP supply IPv6 ?

              Anyhow the ping 8.8.8.8 is using IPv4.. Can you check diagnoistics/routes, and to be sure also check the default-route on the workstation?

                Here my main routes, to me it looks good. I cut out some openvpn lines, it's not running anyway. LAN is 192.168.1.0.
                0_1538848655607_routes.jpg

                workstation route:
                192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0

                ISP IPv6: I think IPv6 is supported, but the current WAN is IPv4.

                  Does the workstation also have a default route ?

                    @piba this is the full output:

                    192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0

                    It's a QNAP machine, the only one client I have access to to test.

                      Seems to me like default route is missing then.. the ip on the qnap is statically configured? then you need to add a default route / default gateway on it somewhere..

                        It's not statically configured, but in pfsense there's a reservation for it.

                        In DHCP Server, I added 192.168.1.1 as the gateway, restarted QNAP's networking, but no luck.

                          The 192.168.1.1 probably was already send 'by default'.. Would be easy to check if you had another client to put on that network, see if it picks up the proper default-route.. Now you might be able do a packet capture and analyze it with Wireshark.. That should show the dhcp packet indicating the default-route...

                          Or perhaps check qnap's logs see if it shows anything.?. ive never seen a qnap so cant really guide much there.

                            Ok I'll check but it's not a QNAP issue because my solar inverter also has lost connection.

                              Under LAN, Reserved Networks I had Block private networks and loopback addresses enabled..so I was shooting myself in the foot ๐Ÿค• . After unchecking, normal function resumed.

                              Sorry about that, and thanks for your help.

                                Ay, that would cause issues indeed for a private-network.. Surely explains the solar-inverter was not having internet access. Not sure why the qnap wouldn't show its default-route though. Does it show it now? (Just interested for my own education..)

                                  It does:
                                  default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 br0

                                    Okay, would have thought that would be there even if traffic was blocked. Perhaps is has some dynamic gateway monitoring or something that told it not to define that route when it wasn't available. The dhcp packet from pfSense side wouldn't be any different though afaik. But well its fixed :) i guess no further investigation is needed just to satisfy my curiosity ๐Ÿ˜‰ . Thanks for reporting back ๐Ÿ‘
