ok thanks OPNenthu makes sense, thanks for all your help in this and now its all working, just want to say a big thank you to you!!!!!
#10
thanks OPNenthu,

Im a bit confused then, whats the point of making an VIP for it even tho i can enter it directly in?
#11
ok ive added the "IP Alias" thanks but i dont see it when i add the destNAT as when i click the drop down under "redirect target ip" i dont see it as an option, i can see all my "aliases" should i make it into an alias?
#12
sorry what do you mean by this please sorry

Easiest is to add a VIP to your existing loopback device, something like fdff::1.  Any short, valid ULA will do.  Then you can use that ULA as the redirect target.

Better is to create a dedicated loopback device for redirects and assign it a static ULA in interface settings, then use that.

ok interesting

i changed both destNAT and fw rule the "dest" to "!RFC1918" and still didnt work

as soon as i changed "version" from "ipv4+ipv6" to "ipv4" under destNAT it worked
#14
Hi,

thanks for that!

I made these rules

for my destNAT i have made the "firewall rule" "pass" as you said but still doesnt work as im testing it on a vm and when i make my DNS use my opnsense DNS works but when i change it 1.1.1.1 it doesnt work i get no internet
#15
thanks, can i get some help with how to setup this

NAT redirect rule can be used to send these requests to 127.0.0.1:53, which is the local Unbound service. This will ensure that these requests are sent over TLS.

Thanks,
Rob
