      Hello guys,

      I would like to ask if I don't enter an IP address in my DHCP Server field, will it use the one set on pfsense?

      This is the DNS I have set to pfsense

        Yes. Those boxes generally default to the pfSense box.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          So if I don't add DHCP Server DNS it will use pfsense DNS but if I add it and it's different it will use the one assigned to DHCP Server and prioritize it over pfsense

            It will send the local interface address the dhcp server is running on if the pfSense DNS server is listening on it.

            See: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/dhcp/ipv4.html#servers
