Opnsense 23.1 Install:

SSH Opnsense: fetch -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/mimugmail.conf https://www.routerperformance.net/mimugmail.conf

2 - Install AdGuardHome from System --> Firmware --> Plugins

3 - Opnsense - System - Settings -General

      DNS Servers: empty

      Untick: Do not use the local DNS service as a nameserver for this system

      Untick: Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN

4 - Services – DHCPv4 – [LAN] : DNS Servers all empty

5 – Opnsense – Services - Unbound DNS – General

Don‘t use port 5353 as it‘s used by mDNS service!!!

thanks for the guide! for some reason when i Untick: Do not use the local DNS service as a nameserver for this system.  If i'm on opnsense box shell, i can't resolve any dns.  once i change resolv.conf from localhost to opnsense's 192.168.1.1 address then dns works.

does anyone know why i can't use 127.0.0.1 but can use the actual ip of opnsense?

Assuming the question in the context of this guide, the tick is to not use the dns server(s) there and assumes you will setup another way for the system to do dns. So something has to resolve names and be available on an interface/ip designation

I am very happy that after following the Guide posted here i could able to setup AGH and Unbound successfully.

I have Internet now and the page loading time is insane. i amreally liking it.

But i have one problem, after setting AGH and Unbound as only Resolver i am not able to update the Package... once i click the update it keeps on waiing for the update... What is wrong with my Opnsense ? why cant i update my packages ? i also intend to install other Packages, but without updating how will i do it ? why only the firmware update function is not working but Internet is Working

i am clueless, pls help me to solve this problem... Thanks
