Hi all,
I hope i can get some of the collective intelligence about a port forwarding rule, to explain me what i am doing wrong.
I set a port forwarding rule to redirect every DNS request to port 53 NOT addressed to the firewall to be redirected to the firewall itself. I want to avoid that some devices are forced to use other dns server that the default one.
but in the firewall log i can see that the rule is triggered always.
am i doing something wrong? important info, the rule is only triggered by Ipv6 and not ipv4.
Yes, for starters: why is the source "This firewall" - you should have the list of clients that will be forced to use your local DNS there.
See this, point 29 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=42985.0) and what is linked there.
fuck!, I feel ashamed of myself.
I promise i checked that for hours and i didnt see anything wrong.
thanks for the help.
For the IPv6 I am not so worried, I only wanted to ahve a rule that could be triggered when one of the device of the network is not behaving "nominally". I dont care if dns over ipv6 are not resolved when not directed to the FW
