      Hi All,
      I noticed a mismatch between the DNS Resolver > Advanced Settings > Query Name Minimization default setting listed in the documentation compared to the description provided inside pfSense (currently running 25.07.1).

      Query Name Minimization
      pfSense: Default is checked (on).
      Documentation: Default is unchecked.
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/dns/resolver-advanced.html#advanced-privacy-options

      When I open the Advanced Settings it was unchecked, which seems to be in-line with the documentation, anyone able to confirm?

        Above you stated the opposite.

          @Bob.Dig I should clarify, that is the description inside pfSense, which seems to be opposite the documentation.
