Strange issue started with DNS last night. DNS works fine for internal names but external names will not resolve.
From the pfsense interface, I can ping by ip address or name to external servers.
DNS Query forwarding is enabled.
No firewall rule changes have been made.
Going to try and grab some screenshots to upload.
When you enable Forwarding Mode, you need to define upstream DNS server under System / General setup. Otherwise you should disable that option. Also, if you enable “Use SSL/TLS for outgoing DNS Queries to Forwarding Servers” option, you need to define a host name under System / General setup or just disable that option as well. The last three options in your DNS settings should also be disabled unless you really know what you are doing and you actually need them. It seems to me you just enabled everything without knowing what those options do.
DNS is defined under System-> General
Very starnge that this has been working for years with no issue
I disabled the last 3 options and that seemed to fix it.
Thanks
Those 3 options you disabled are disabled by default. Someone enabled them and thats what caused your DNS issues.
