PFSense - Stopping DNS Leaks

Navigate to Services → DNS Resolver

  • DNS Query Forwarding: Not Checked.
  • Custom Options:
    server:
      ssl-upstream: yes
      do-tcp: yes
      forward-zone:
        name: "." 
        forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853
        forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853
        forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1111@853
        forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1001@853

It’s OK to set the resolver to listen on all interfaces, since the firewall rules on the WAN will prevent Internet hosts from using your resolver anyway.

Follow the prompts, then test it with something like;

dig www.google.com @yourrouter.local

You should see a resolve against your router’s local DNS resolver that works.

If you really want, use Diagnostics → Packet Capture, and capture port 853 to verify that requests are being triggered.
