        Hi,

        What is the question ?

        edit :

        @bcruze said in status dns resolver:

        if have this disabled: Do not use the DNS Forwarder/DNS Resolver as a DNS server for the firewall

        Why ?
        Default is unchecked (for a very good reason).
        What is your reason to check that one ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          even after having both options unchecked under system / general setup. i went back to hte same nagging problem i had before. users on the network could complain they would get page can not be displayed frequently on the network. if they refreshed the page it would just work again..

          with Disable DNS Forwarder checked. under general / settings. this would no longer happen. i assumed it continued to use the two IP addresses set above, quad9 and cloudfare instead of the built in resolver

          this is weird. i did not start this thread. the original post has been deleted?

            Dono abut your thread - found it here as is.

            About the Resolver : I'm using plain vanilla settings, this is : unbound as Resolver. I activated DNSSEC.
            Never saw any problems.

            Btw : my advice :
            aac5679c-3521-4605-a4e3-b9831d0fd091-image.png

            Quad9 - Cloudfare : why should you use these ?
