I am noticing that my firewall keeps sending dns request to 1.1.1.1:53.  The domain it keeps sending is config.amcrestcloud.com.  This is probably from my cameras originally.  But to test out things I disabled all amcrest cameras and the dns keeps going,  every few seconds and does not stop.

Any suggestions?  Rebooted a few times.  I attached a ntopng screenshot.  I can see the DNS request also on here.



Why don“t you try a tcpdump and check if these queries are still being generated by a device in your network?

tcpdump -i eth0 udp port 53  (could be a stricter filter if needed)

Problem solved.  Found the device using tcpdump.  Corrected the problem and dns requests stopped.  Thank you.
