      Netgate 6100, pfSense+ 22.05-RELEASE

      Changed unbound from forwarding mode to resolving mode and dnscheck.tools now indicates, that DNS resolver is WAN IP, while in forwarding mode it was the DNS servers configured in pfSense DNS Server Settings. This is ok, I guess?

        I have some top level domains blocked by pfblockerNG (DNSBL Regex) and after switching to unbound resolving mode I noticed that the unified log started to have rows like below. Have tried to capture packets (using a set of IPs) in my PC and also in pfSense localhost and LAN, but nothing appeared.

        What might be the source of those packets and why they do appear? DNS from LAN is redirected to pfSense.

          I guess, those are normal and unbound is the source?

          Although I haven't noticed blocking has had any unwanted effect to anything, at least info TLD would probably be better to be allowed?
