      I wondered is there anyway of stopping pfsense from adding my ISPs DNS servers at all?

      I wanted to exclude them from the IPs listed in there because their not that great, but every time I say reboot rewrites them completely. Is there anyway of stopping them from being added and using what's literally in the general tab of the web configurator?

      Thanks and I appreciate any replies in advance,
      Jeremy.

        Are you referring to what is given by the DHCP service?

            On System -> General where you have listed your desired name servers, do you have the box Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN ticked? (It shouldn't be!)
