Synology Letsencrypt Renewal and Unifi Firmware Update Fail

[saunada]

Hi,
pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3
DNS Server Setting on General Setup Page 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1
DNS Forwarder and Resolver enabled
Firewall LAN rules forces pfSense IP to be used to used as DNS
pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_18

Synology Letsencrypt Renewal and Unifi Firmware Update Fail. If I disable pfBlockerNG, remove firewall LAN rule to allow other DNS and change Synology and Unifi Cloud Key DNS to 1.1.1.1 (or any external DNS), LE renewal and Unifi firmware update will work.

Can anyone advise? Thank you.

Yep.
It looks like you have a very off standard DNS setup.
This :

DNS Forwarder and Resolver enabled

has been done for what reason ?

Normally, DNS Server Setting on General Setup Page is set to 127.0.0.1 you might consider adding "::1", but that's it.
Your giving away your (private) DNS requests to "1.1.1.1" which isn't needed at all. Default DNS settings, using only the resolver works just fine.
pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_18 is still available, but know that pfBlockerNG-devel / 2.2.5_29 is far more superior.

Letsencrypt Renewal : all depend on what method you are using, etc. the ascme pfSense package logs severally. What does it tell you ?

[saunada]

I had DNS Forwarding enabled because of the following, but I noticed now that they are also in DNS Resolver. I will disable dns forwarding.

Do you mean 127.0.0.1::1 in the DNS Server Setting? what does "::1" mean?

I will upgrade pfBlockerNG as well.

Synology (LE renewal) logs in the web interface do not tell much. I am not sure where to get them. I am using the tool in the web interface. Not sure if it is acme in the background. I will make the above changes tonight (equipment are operational now) and update here again. Thank you.

127.0.0.1 is default - and it's IPv4
::1 is the IPv6 counterpart.

Here : /tmp/acme/[acme - LE account name]/acme_issuecert.log if your talking about the acme pfSense package.
LetsEnscrypt certs renewal on a Syno NAS is totally not related to pfSense. I would advise you to use the acme pfSense packages, ask for a wild card cert, and export it ones every 60 days or so to your Syno NAS (and other devices,, if needed).

Is the exporting a manual process?

[Gertjan]

Yes.

You have to click on these icons

to export the certs - P12 and pem format.

The certs are also available here :

You'll have to write a scrip to send it over to other devices. But as you might have guessed : the Synology DSM GUI uses a ... GUI to install the certs. Maybe it can be done using scripts on the Synology;,an ssh interface exists, but you have to discover that yourself.
