Internet on windows but not ubuntu bad pfsense configuration?
-
For the DMZ are you using pfSense DNS Resolver in forwarding mode or DNS forwarder?
Can you post screenshots of the DNS settings and if using forwarding also the DNS server settings in System / General Setup? -
Hi thank you for your answer,
I actually enabled the DNS forwarder thinking it would forward the dns server that ar in my System / General Setup. But apparently not.
Here are the screenshots :
-
I'm not familiar with the DNS forwarder (dnsmasq) but that seems like it should work. What you can try is DNS Resolver in forwarding mode. See if you get any difference.
-
Yup, it should i don't understand either why its not working.
How should i do to put the DNS resolver in forwarding mode ?
-
Before doing that maybe try some more troubleshooting.
Try to run a dig from Ubuntu and maybe also from pfSense to compare the results.
e.g.,
dig google.com
dig @8.8.8.8 google.comThe first should use your default DNS server the second is using google's DNS server.
-
Check pfSense itself can resolve. Test something in Diag > DNS Lookup. Be sure all configured servers respond, that should include 127.0.0.1.
Make sure both VMs appear in the pfSense DHCP lease table. You might have something else handing out leases.

Woaw 8 seconds for a query could be your issue. Those DNS servers are used only for this DMZ?
-
Nope those are DNS servers on my school's network. :/ Can not work without them

...Can not work with them either.
Edit
Something is very wrong there. Even if your were to ping a server at the furthest possible point on the planet, I would not expect a number like that. -
Haha got me ! But actually it work but only on windows VMs and not on Ubuntu. Idk if ubuntu is using different dns ports (not at my knowledge) Or if pfSense is sending the dns request to the wrong servers ?

Could it be that Ubuntu's query timeout is shorter than Windows?
-
I think using pfSense DNS resolver could help here since it would build up a cache.
-
Idk, but when i restart the services i can get internet on my ubuntu.
So maybe my ubuntu is making a link with the dns servers when nothing can intercept the packets.
And if pfsense if running again it can't 'wipe' packets when the connection is established so ubuntu vm still have internet.
But when i restart the ubuntu vm every connection is closed and could not be established again.This is what i guess but i don't know how to fix it by a port forwarding or traceroute can't determine where it sucks :/

Should the pfSense DHCP lease table show me the static ip from my vms ?
Also, going back to @stephenw10 question on DHCP leases. That needs to be cleared up.

I activated dns resolver with forwarding but still doesn't work.
I try it with Chrome and i receive this error:

Yeah that is catastrophically bad! Something is very broken there.
I guess the DNS timeout in Windows is higher which is why it worked.
You don't see localhost there so you probably have 'Do not use the DNS Forwarder/DNS Resolver as a DNS server for the firewall' set in System > General setup. That doesn't make much difference unless you have host overrides there the firewall should use.

I thought I would note this too, but I rather skipped it, hihihihhi

Try it a second time. Once unbound caches it, it should come right up the second time.

Would dnsmaq use the local host as well or is that only the default for unbound?
