OpenVPN - DNS issue / question

[mr.sarge]

Do you always get the same results for www.amazon.de when you ask Google DNS directly?

Just an idea: I assume you do not get the same results from Google DNS, when you repeat your query later. Thus asking your OPNsense DNS might provide slightly different results, depending on its own cache.

Hi!

that was also my assumption that it must have something to do with the cache. I was just wondering because I no longer had access to the amazon pages until I set the google DNS servers directly on the hosts (instead the OPNSense IP)

That sounds like Google DNS responded (at some point) with an incorrect answer. Or the Unbound DNS made a mistake interpreting the response from Google DNS. It's possible but I don't think that happened.

You probably would have mentioned this, but it's still worth asking: Do you have any overrides configured in your Unbound DNS?

Hi,

no, I do not have any overrides configured in my Unbound DNS. Maybe my "DNS issue" was just an exception with Google DNS in combination with Unbound DNS / cache hits.
