          I saw this ones or twice :

          @MilesMorales said in DNS Resolver validation (internal or external firewall):

          dig +trace pfsense.org

          ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> +trace pfsense.org
          ;; global options: +cmd
          ;; Received 28 bytes from 172.16.0.1#53(172.16.0.1) in 33 ms

          "dig" worked, but adding the +trace option silenced it completely, there were no results except for these 3 lines.

          @MilesMorales said in DNS Resolver validation (internal or external firewall):

          installing bind fixed the issues

          Did you also uses bind to resolve ? Or just installing it without activation ?

          This is one of the rare situation where a reboot of pfSense restored the dig + trace functionality. I never investigated for a reason, I've still a note for myself to find out what happened.

          Btw : System > General Setup > DNS Server Override isn't set, right ?

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