DNS Resolver is not resolving unless Forwarding Mode is enabled.
-
Not sure where to start. Basically, the DNS Resolver does not work. I have a fresh install of 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3. After going through the wizard, the DNS Resolver did not work.
I don't really know what information to provide, so below are some parts of my config that I think may be helpful:
-
DNS Server Settings (System >> General Setup):
DNS Servers - 1.1.1.1 and two other servers provided by my VPN provider.
DNS Server Override - unchecked
Disable DNS Forwarded - unchecked -
General DNS Resolver Options (Services >> DNS Resolver >> General Settings)
Enable - checked
Listen Port - 53
Enable SSL/TLS Service - unchecked
Network Interfaces - All
Outgoing Network Interfaces - All
System Domain Local Zone Type - Transparent
DNSSEC - checked
DNS Query Forwarding, Enable Forwarding Mode - I checked this to be able to resolve domain names, I was "testing" the DNS resolver with this checkbox disable and only enabled it later.
All checkboxes below Enable Forwarding Mode are not selected.
Custom options:server:include: /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.*conf
I have not touched any settings under Advanced Settings and Access Lists tabs. -
No DNS servers are specified in the Servers section of Services >> DHCP Server >> LAN.
Any help would be appreciated.

i'd delete your ISP's DNS that is only causing issues leave 1.1.1.1
check Use SSL/TLS for outgoing DNS Queries to Forwarding Servers
check Enable Forwarding Mode
and that should resolve the issue... only after you delete your ISP's DNS... because of this statement: Note that ALL configured forwarding servers MUST support SSL/TLS queries on port 853.

@bcruze I already have Forwarding Mode enabled, would I be able to use pfBlockerNG's DNS blocking if I use the forwarding mode?

Yes you can use pfblocker with unbound in forwarding mode.
