DNS Resolver Issues

[x2rl]

Can't get this domain to work from my PC (works fine on the phone no wifi on)

Piholes dns is 10.0.0.1 which is pfsense.

Any ideas?

nslookup x3rl.com
Server:  Pihole
Address:  10.0.0.222

*** Pihole can't find x3rl.com: Server failed

[x2rl]

Without pihole

nslookup x3rl.com
Server:  pfSense.localdomain
Address:  10.0.0.1

*** pfSense.localdomain can't find x3rl.com: Server failed

Hi,

Do a more general DNS check for that domain. Or even the www subdomain.

Use a tool like https://www.zonemaster.net/domain_check - and that domain, and one that you it exists - liek your own web site.

Its close to non-existent. Or the domain name maintainer has some DNS issues. Maybe he forget to renew the domain rent ?

So yes, pihole and pfSense can't make something from nothing ;)
