      This concatenation of my network domain name concerns me, does this allow the initiator to bypass pfBlockerNG ability to block IP connections?

        @nasheayahu Those are only the actual namelookup attempt. If you are running pfBlockerNG and are bloking those domainnames, then the client will get a NXDOMAIN response from that namelook - and thus won't get any further.

        two things to notice:

        1: You have one client that is bypassing your Unbound Resolver on pfSense (with pfBlockerNG blokings) and are using 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as nameservers.

        2: PfBlockerNG does not actually block any IP connections (when it comes do domain names). It only prevents the clients from resoling those names to IP adresses - and are thus unable to contact those services.

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
