General Discussion / Re: DNS issue with OPNsense

It's a bit hard to understand what you're saying, but I think I have an idea what happened.

If you had your WAN as static instead of DHCP then you weren't getting DNS servers from your WAN.  OPNSense resolution was working because Unbound defaults to recursive root mode.  Your clients weren't because the local Unbound wasn't being passed to the clients via DHCP.

I forget the default options but you can certainly end up in this spot with the wrong settings.

you are right ,but it didn't know how to fix it.
thanks for reply

i fixed alone when i change the DHCP of WAN instead of Static ,and it works
in the server OPNsense ,I was able to ping www.google.com but on the workstation behind the LAN does not ,only ping IP addresses not by names for Example : I can ping 8.8.8.8 google DNS but cannot ping www.google.com or www.yahoo.com or anything with name.
anyway I fixed it ,thanks
