cool !

Hi guys, one thing I noticed (maybe was present also on the previous setup but I did not notice) is that the new configuration takes some time to start loading the webpages (any webpage) and then it is super fast to present the content as usual (I have a 2.5G fiber). My little network understanding is that this delay can be caused by the DNS resolving the IP not in the right way. How can I check if this is the case and what is the best configuration of the DNS in my setup? My pfSense is basically stock... thanks!

@irondog As default, pfsense is using the resolver, under Services > DNS Resolver. It makes it's requests towards root servers which will likely be slower than using e.g. google or cloudflare's DNS servers.
If that is a concern, or you want to use DNS Servers which provide safeguards against malicious sites or block certain site categories, you need to change it to use forwarder mode. There's a tick box under DNS Resolver where you activate this. The servers it will then use are the one's you list under System > General Setup > DNS Servers.
