      I'm not generally having any issues with DNS on network. However, when I use the DNS Lookup tool in Diagnostics, it takes 15 seconds for the GUI to show the results. The response times from the servers are all quick (except for ::1), just the GUI takes a long time to show this result. Is this a DNS configuration issue or a GUI issue? I'm running 24.03 on a Netgate 7100. I don't have this issue on a 2100 running 23.09.

        @bhjitsense Ensure DNS Resolver is set to All interfaces, and restart it (Resolver).

        I think it is a 2 second timeout.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          ::1 is IPv6 localhost. Unbound should listen on that address by default but you may have disabled that. Or if you have enabled the forwarder instead.

          If you have upgraded from a much older version you might have it added specifically in System > General Setup and can remove it from there.
