New to OPNsense. I have a  Sophos XG 115 with newly installed OPNsense 26.1.1 and I installed mimugmail 1.16 Adguardhome. All of the tutorial's online and here in the forums have outdated info that does not line up with what the GUI looks like today so I am not sure that I got everything setup correctly but I do have access to the internet so at least I didn't break that... yet. I think the only thing I might be missing is DNS port forwarding that is mention in some tutorials which I can only find Query Forwarding under Unbound. There is also a Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP section under Services which I have not a clue about. If there are newer tutorials that I missed that someone could point me to that would be helpful.

I did read over that entire HOWTO but it doesn't match up to the current GUI. There is no "General DNS Resolver Options" anymore that I can find under Unbound General settings. And under Firewall NAT there is no longer anything mentioned about "Port Forward". So my guess would be at some point with the later interactions of OPNsense they change/moved/renamed things that just do not line up with all the instruction that I have come across on here or YouTube or Reddit... etc....

It should not be that hard to fix that IMHO by browsing around a bit on the OPNsense webGUI ?!

For example :

Has been renamed to 'Destination NAT' as you can see here : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=50472.0 ;)

I do not use OPNsense for DNS so you will have to figure out that one yourself.
