Hi Everyone, I have a strange situation where Unbounds works perfectly, except when it comes to Nest website and *one* of my Amazon echos.

Background: I have OPNsense with Zenarmor, DHCPv4 and v6, and Unbound activated. My provider is Comcast. Every website and app works perfectly except for two. I cannot get my Nest app to connect to outside and my echo 4th gen would not connect either. If I disable Unbound, everything works just fine. I have NO rules, no blacklists, and nothing fancy going on with Unbound. Just a simple redirect to Comcast's DNS servers.

I have 5 amazon echos in my environment. Four are echo dots, and they work perfectly. The issue is only with this one echo 4th gen.

How do I troubleshoot this? I looked at the log files for Unbound and there is nothing there. Appreciate any insight here.
thanks

I have reviewed all the materials that I could find and all the related how-to videos and still can't get this to work properly. I used to have this working under pfSense but once I moved to OPNsense nothing seems to be working!! This is a clean install, but an export/import.

I have enabled the IDS mode only, have over 220k rules enabled (soI know something gotta match), have set myself in Promiscuous mode, defined my home network, set my interface to LAN, have disabled all hardware offloading (which should not have an impact since I only alert and don't use the IPS mode), and yet my Alerts tab is completely empty.

I am using a Protectli 6 port firewall, if that makes a difference.

what am I missing here? thanks
