DNS queries failed with external DNS

Robo over 4 years ago

Hi,

I have a strange problem with DNS: When DNS server is set to an external server, the FW can´t resolve any name

-> Networking -> Zones -> "my Zone" -> DNS is checked

-> Networking -> DNS -> static -> DNS1: 1.1.1.1

-> Firewallrule any/any (for testing)

The Log shows that the query passes the firewall:

But the answer never returns to the client:

If I set a internal DNS server under static DNS configuration, everything works fine.

Any Idea??

Regards

Robin

Hi Robo,

Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Sophos Community!

Is DNS allowed for the WAN zone? Go to Administration > Device access > Network service > DNS.

Also, check if the "dnsd" service is running on the firewall by running the following command from the advanced shell: service -S | grep -i "dnsd"
