Trialling CloudConnexa with a single site
-
I am testing CloudConnexa and have my LAN behind pfSense which is connected to CloudConnexa as a "connector".
I wish to run all LAN DNS queries through the CloudConnexa DNS filter.
The CloudConnexa DNS server is 100.96.1.1 and this is only accessible from pfSense, so workstations on the LAN cannot access the CloudConnexa DNS server directly
My initial through was to setup the pfSense Resolver in forwarding mode and list the CloudConnexa DNS server in System => General Setup
My concern here is that when the connection to CloudConnexa is down I need DNS resolution in order to be able to establish the connection to CloudConnexa so only using the CloudConnexa DNS server will not work.
Presently I have pfSense operating as a forwarder and checking the DNS servers sequentially.
Additionally (out of my depth here) It appears that traffic to CloudConnexa is routed via the OpenVPN interface.
Does this mean that any DNS queries to 100.96.1.1 will automatically be routed via CloudConnexa as opposed to be having the specify CloudConnexa as the GW for this DNS server?
Thanks in advance
