DNS not working - can't resolve domain names behind opnsense

bugz000:
this install hasn't been running long, and after a recent power failure, dns simply refuses to work
key points are as such, i understand ping is different to dns but just bear with me...

i am using latest opnsense
i am using ADGUARD dns filter for the dns server
the network is a dual NAT setup, with OPNSENSE as gateway for the devices in this room, and the ISP router "outside" this network serving as another gateway, traffic is DMZ'd through to OPNSENSE for hosting etc, it's a bit funky but it's been working great for the past decade or so and preserves the standard ISP wifi network for friends/family as they find my filtering excessive - but i digress;

ADGUARD: 192.168.2.241
OPNSENSE: 192.168.2.254
PC: 192.168.2.38
WAN: 192.168.0.30

adguard can ping 8.8.8.8
opnsense can ping 8.8.8.8
proxmox can ping 8.8.8.8
dns is set to 8.8.8.8 in proxmox dns section
adguard upstream dns is set to 8.8.8.8 (and a few others)
PC gateway is set to opnsense
PC dns is set to adguard
dhcp is turned off on the router (no conflict)
all DNS servers/forwarding is turned OFF in opnsense

yet nothing can resolve any hostname...

using DIG command from ADGUARD:

--- Code: ---adguard:~# dig @8.8.8.8 google.com

; <<>> DiG 9.16.15-Debian <<>> @8.8.8.8 google.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
--- End code ---

using PING command from ADGUARD:

--- Code: ---adguard:~# ping google.com
ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
--- End code ---

if i set PC dns server to 8.8.8.8 directly, it works (And is how i can post this thread) but nothing else on the server is functioning
but setting this directly in the proxmox host etc seems to do nothing, i'm unsure what the problem is...

using tracert command from PC with 8.8.8.8 set directly:

i am almost certain i am lacking needed information to fix this issue, so please direct me to what information you need and i'll get it for you

standing by for replies as i'm out of ideas at this point - my gut feeling tells me something in the opnsense config is blocking dns which is why i'm posting here
this is because ADGUARD has been running for upwards of 6 months, and has existed much longer, it has "survived" several reboots and power failures... and this opnsense container is quite a new addition never being subject to a power failure until now - i used opnsense in the past but incredibly slow NAT speeds caused me to move back to openwrt - but it seems the fault has been fixed and i can get full line speed with suricata and crowdsec which is fantastic, but only after a power failure has this new fault appeared

thankyou all in advance <3

amarek:
it seems like your opnsense blocks outgoing traffic for DNS. you try to ping 8.8.8.8 but DNS ist not ICMP related. I would suggest to test it like this:
Disable the packet filter for short time and try to resolve a domain name via dig. If this works the problem is that opnsense is blocking your dns queries. Please turn on the filter again after testing!!! You can also do a live view in the logs while trying do resolve domain names. DNS queries are working via UDP port 53, try creating a rule for adguard to be alloewd for this traffic. BR
