Gateway Optionally
-
Hi, I upgraded from version 2.4 to version 2.5 and I don't see the option to configure a specific interface for DNS queries, do you know if this menu has been changed or if this configuration is not available in this version?
version 2.4
version 2.5

Huh?
Its still there
Not sure where you got that image from 2.4 - why would there be a "gateway" on lan - and why would you use it to get to 8.8.8.8 makes no sense
Do you only have 1 gateway? If so then no point to be able to select different gateways to get to different dns servers.

@johnpoz thanks for your answer, it is a little particular implementation, I use it to create an "isolated environment" in our corporate network, that is why the wan is not configured and I reach the internet through the LAN network, I will try to add a second route to validate if it allows me to select the outgoing interface.
thanks.

if you use lan gateway to get to internet, its no longer really "lan" ;) pfsense will think of it as wan interface as soon as you put a gateway on it, etc.
If your setup as lan, and you have devices on this lan, and using another IP on this same "lan" to get to the internet then you have a asymmetrical problem for anything using pfsense IP as its gateway..
Not sure exactly what your trying to isolate, but seems like bad configuration to me.. If anything is pointing to pfsense as its gateway, and pfsense route to get to elsewhere is using this same network..
Anytime you connect "routers" you create a transit network - you don't put hosts on said transit without issues of asymmetrical routes..
Could you provide more info on exactly what your trying to do - and be happy to discuss a better way to do it ;)
