[SOLVED] pkg and DNS resolution not working

[Greelan]

So a couple of days ago my OPNsense installation (21.1.5) stopped resolving. I am getting something similar to this thread: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=4403.0

For example if I try to check for updates:

Code: [Select]

I've tried the various fixes in the thread above but nothing.

My DNS servers are set correctly (they are pointing to a RPi on my LAN) and /etc/resolv.conf is populated correctly.

This just seemed to occur randomly one morning two days ago at 3am (judging from the logs when some Alias domains stopped resolving).

Any hints about how to fix? Thanks.

I've now discovered the issue was due to Sensei - for whatever reason it was blocking DNS resolution on OPNsense. Thanks so much SunnyValley...
