I am getting these, every six minutes
2022-01-31T10:04:00 Notice /update_tables.py resolving 1 hostnames (1 addresses) for Google took 0.01 seconds
I disconnected the lan input and waited to see if opnsense was the source, and I do believe it is.
Can someone advise why this is occurring.
Only Google is in the log, no other entity has been seen.
Thanks

"Me too", but it's "YouTube" for me. Not sure when it started.
In my case it looks to be an alias in Firewall -> Aliases called "Youtube" of type "hosts" with a list of FQDNs that need to resolve. So, this log makes perfect sense. Although I don't recall creating this alias, but that doesn't mean I didn't. It doesn't seem to be used for anything at the moment.
Check yours for a hosts alias called "Google" and that's likely your cause. An alias with a list of FQDNs must be resolved to IP addresses on a regular basis to build the actual alias to use in the filters.

Yes thats it. changed alias to GoogleCrap, and it appears in the log.
