Pfsense 2.3 DNS server issue
-
Hello,
First of all, congrats on the new pfSense release! It's looking great. We have a small issue since we upgraded from pfSense 2.2.2 to 2.3 yesterday. Surprisingly, out VPN is working properly tied to LDAP authentication, so the core functions are alright and we are able to authenticate.
We were using a normal VPN tunnel, not a full tunnel, so the internet traffic was not passed through the firewall. We are relying on the firewall to provide local DNS servers to mobile clients, so that they can solve the all our local DNS entries in active directory.
This is where things are not working anymore, as pfSense provides the DNS servers to our Shrewsoft clients, however we cannot access anything by name anymore. When performing an nslookup through windows, our local DNS servers should do the lookup, but now the DNS that is set up on the client seems to be doing that. So from what it seems, the DNS settings from Shrewsoft are not being pushed as default and primary.
Firewall logs do not show anything on this.
Has anyone encountered this problem ?

You probably need the Unity plugin enabled I'm guessing. VPN>IPsec, Advanced, enable Unity there. Stop then start (not restart) the service afterwards just to make sure it's applied and everything is forced to reconnect.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately I had to revert back to 2.2.2 because of this, as it's a production environment, but I will try again on the first occasion and let you know.
Never realized that a plug in was required in the new version.
