Wireless and LAN can't resolve vmall.com: 4G can
-
Hello,
I needed to reset the password on my Huawei phone which is on Android 9. The Huawei system app therefor wants to go to a site hwid7.vmall.com. The phone on wifi can't resolve that address. My desktop on LAN can't either (they both can't ping it either). My 4G however can.
I am using unbound with the root DNS servers (I have not entered any DNS servers manually, anywhere in pfSense. However, when I add for example Google DNS servers on the System/General Setup page they still don't resolve the *.vmall.com site, also not when I select to allow DNS-servers overriden bij DHCP/PPPoE on WAN).
Am I not supposed to be able to resolve any website when I use unbound with the root DNS servers?
Thank you,

The DNS servers on System > General are only for use by pfSense. Unbound will only use those servers if you have forwarding enabled, rather than normal resolving. If you have the option to override the DNS Server list with ISP DHCP-provided servers, then those ISP servers will replace anything you've specified, again only for pfSense unless you have forwarding enabled in Unbound.
If you want to forward your DNS queries to Google, configure Google's servers in System > General, then disable the "Allow DNS server list to be overridden..." option, then save the settings. Then go to Services > DNS Resolver and check the box to enable Forwarding Mode. Save and Apply so the change takes effect, then see if things resolve.
As far as why you're not able to do normal resolution from the root on up, I'm not sure.

That FQDN resolves just fine.

Since it will walk down from roots resolving
