      Hey all!

      I recently changed my DNS Resolver's (not in forwarding mode) outbound interface to a Wireguard tunnel interface instead to have all of my recursive DNS requests go out of the Wireguard tunnel instead of my WAN address, which is the only outbound interface selected -

      After making this change it seems to be working correctly with DNS resolving at the IP address of the Wireguard tunnel outbound IP. I just happened to notice however than in my system logs it is showing a ton of blocks on outbound WAN for all of my DNS lookups coming from the Wireguard interface IP (10.107.5.0). It makes sense to me that it would be blocked since there is no outbound NAT rule on WAN from that interface IP, but why would that even be trying to route over the WAN interface at all?

      If this isn't an issue I'll try and find a way to create an outbound rule that doesn't log. It was just concerning to see all the unexpected blocks.

      Thanks!
