Not wanting to take over this post. Here is my issues.
I was running OPNsense for about a year and had my hard drive crash and lost everything. My setup was simple as it could get. No VLANs or segmented networks. Just serving as a DHCP server and DNS server. I would create static IPs for various things on my network and a couple of firewall rules for reverse proxy.
I replaced my hard drive and was starting over and saw that ISC DHCPv4 wasn't default DHCP anymore. Reading on the forums and reddit I found that ISC is depreciated and recommendations are to use DNSmasq or KEA DHCP. Along with that it is recommended to use Unbound.
This is where my issues start. I noticed that my PCs sometimes can't resolve DNS. It is random but I know it is something with my OPNsense because if manually change DNS on my PC to a public DNS like 8.8.8.8 it works everytime.
I have no idea where to even troubleshoot. I know I can go back to ISC DHCPv4 but with it eventually going away I should use the recommended.
