        You haven't said what you want to use as DNS. You have configured your box to use whatever DNS is assigned by the box upstream of your WAN interface (possibly your modem/router, possibly your ISP's router) IF your pfSense WAN interface uses DHCP or PPP.

          so from attach u can see my Wan interface is static and directly connected to modem/router. I wish any client use just dns from pfsense.

          So It is right I setup dns modem/router with ip pfsense? I mean 192.168.0.2.

          thanks

            If your clients use DHCP and you have DNS forwarder enabled on pfSense then the clients should be using pfSense as DNS (unless they have local override).

            Looks OK.
