      Hi,

      Is it normal that you see DNS traffic such as 1.1.1.1 communicating directly to your end devices via pfSense ? Or it should be better done to offload this kind of traffic ?

      Example, when you enter a URL in the browser.

      And is it necessary to indicate the DNS IP in pfsense if i already configured it on my DHCP server (not via pfsense) issuing IP address ?

        If your clients request this server and they are allowed to do this, it's normal.

        No, if you distribute the DNS server by your DHCP. Ensure that the clients are configured as DHCP client.
