DNS server +opendns not resolving

sandman06

Hi,

So ive recently decided to change my dns server to opendns for filtering. copy and pasted the dns server into general tab.
However when i go on http://opendns.com/welcome/ it shows its not working and when i run the nslookup command it also shows its not working.

My isp is sky broadband if that helps. I dont know if they are running proxy ? something that would prevent this working.
I got it working by changing the client pc windows dns server on network connections. But i shoudlnt have to do that as pfsense should do it globally

sandman06

it seems dns resolver is causing the problem.

~~can someone kindly explain for a fix~~. ive only noticed this since pfsense changed from forwarder to resolver that this functionality is broken now or requires different workaround

many thanks

Update: again i have manged to resolve this.

Due to how dns resolver works, opendns and other dns server will no longer work.

in order to fix this go to services–> dns resolver--->

disable DNSSEC( as opendns does not support it)
check dns forwarder

it working now i checked http://opendns.com/welcome/ ,however filtering does not work , i just tried to block a domain via the dashboard on opendns and it still allows me to browse to the site.

any suggestions ?
