Correct settings for pfSense and TinyDNS

domain-name-systempfsensetinydns

My TinyDNS install on pfSense is only able to resolve local host names. Any external domains, come back as blank. The strange thing, is that they resolve correctly when SSH'd to the pfSense box. I also want to get the TinyDNS exposed on both LAN and WAN sides. Right now it is just working on LAN side.

Can someone provide the correct pfSense settings for TinyDNS?

You're asking a content DNS server to do a resolving proxy DNS server's job. Read the documentation, starting with basics like the blurb, and use the correct server software for the correct task.

Firewall – Setup 1:1 NAT using pfSense

The mistake i made was not configuring the client's gateway to point to pfsense.

The nat client had multiple network cards and default gateway was set to another network card.

Once it was fixed the issue was resolved

Firewall – pfSense router on a LAN with two gateways

If you setup your whole setup something like this:

New WAN |  
         --> pfSense --> LAN
ADSL    |

so the pfSense gets 2 internet connections.

The above setup should work without too many problems, as the servers will now only have one gateway to use.
