General Discussion / Need help with Unbound Dynamic DNS and DHCP setup
« on: September 06, 2023, 05:17:08 am »
I have a new Opnsense setup that is replacing a Unifi USG. I only mention Unifi because what I desire was the default behavior with Unifi and there is nothing I am trying to do that should be difficult.
I have OpnSense as my gateway to my ISP. I user 'local' as my LAN domain name. I have several workstations on my network. A mix of Windows, Linux, Roku, TV, ... Most are DHCP clients. There are a few that are statically assigned.
Everything works as long as DNS can be resolved on internet DNS (1.1.1.1 and/or 8.8.8.
.
What does not work is DNS resolution for my local area network (neither the dynamic nor the static).
I can access any of the local nodes by using the IP address, so the network itself is not the issue.
I was hoping that such a vanilla setup would just work, but sadly that is not the case. Hope is not a plan.
Anyway, I have had no luck deciphering the documentation. Also all of my attempts to find an applicable YT or forum post have yielded a bunch of stuff that does not address my issue.
Please, anyone that can guide an OpnSense noob will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Jim
