DNS Fowarder just does not work.
-
Friends, there is a bug in the DNS Forwarder in pfSense 2.2.6?
I've already set of all possible ways, following which sends various manuals, but all show the same thing in a simple and practical. Well the fact is that computers do not resolve FQDN names when using pfSense as primary DNS, I have to open port 53 on the firewall to computers to query external DNS like 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.2, etc.
Can anyone give me a light?

The forwarder works just fine.. Whatever you issues is more than likely is PEBKAC..
So lets see your config, lets see a query.. Where are you pointing pfsense to for dns, which is where the forwarder will send traffic.
Here I disabled the resolver, and enabled the forwarder pointing to my isp dns.. As you can see I can resolve local stuff just fine pfsense.local.lan, I can resolve stuff outside www.google.com, As you see when doing a packet capture on pfsense, it is sending the query to my isp dns I setup, and getting a response.

Thanks for the help, I will do tests later. Face I see a few different things in your image, the first is that you have selected the interfaces of the networks that will redirect DNS lookups, I was not scoring any interface. The second thing I noticed is that you marked the Strict Interface Binding option.

Those options should have no effect.. By default it will listen on all interfaces. When I had played with it before I didn't want it listening on all interfaces is all. I can show you it works with the all setting and non strict if you like.

Running my DNS Forwarder with no issues as well. I'm set to ALL interfaces and have 2 of the register settings checked. My DNS is pointed at OpenDNS servers.
