hi all,
making a firewall rule but instead of the destination being an "ip" i want it to be a "DNS" record, is it possible to put in a DNS name ie dns.msftncsi.com and that resolves to the ip
if not has it got the plugin squid?
thanks,
rob
Create an alias containing the URL and set the fw rule destination to this alias :)
This is very good to know
I'm sure this is costly L7 to L4 transition, short of loading an alias with IP blocks, or implementing proxy

You cannot use a DNS name in a firewall rule, only IP addresses.
You can use aliases in OPNsense and define a host/DNS name in there.
