      Hoping someone can give me some insight into this one…

      I use the noscript Firefox addon, and every time I attempt to go to arstechnica.com from my home network (which uses pfSense) it blocks the site with an ABE warning:

      Request {GET http:/127.0.0.1/ <<< http://arstechnica.com/, chrome://browser/content/browser.xul -6} filtered by ABE: <local> Deny</local>
      

      I don't have the issue accessing ars from the same computer when not behind pfSense.  I have to assume it's some sort of DNS forwarding issue.  I have DNS configured in the general settings to not alow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN  and to not use the DNS Forwarder as a DNS server for the firewall, though I think I've tried multiple combinations.

      Has anyone seen this before?

        Did you tried using google dns server? 8.8.8.8

          DNS servers in general setup are:
          8.8.8.8 (Google)
          8.8.4.4 (Google)
          208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS)
          208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS)

          This is also the only site that I have seen this on, which makes me think that it's some funny config on their end.

          I did notice that when running nslookup I get

          Non-authoritative answer:
          Name:    arstechnica.com.mydomain.com
          Address:  67.215.65.132
          

          as the result.  Additionally, if I click through to an actual article it goes through.  It's only the home page I have issue with.
