Description

Page: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/dns-over-tls.html

Feedback:

The DoT configuration recipe should recommend to set the DNS resolution behavior to Use local DNS (127.0.0.1), ingore remote DNS Servers and/or make this setting the pfsense default:

Otherwise DNS requests from the firewall itself will still be sent to the configured DoT servers on port 53. This fact should at least be mentioned on the recipe page. The details can be found in on the netgate forums: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/165857/dns-over-tls-dot-config-still-shows-traffic-with-destination-port-53.

Thanks for updating the docs!

There's a small error though: "This prevents DNS requests from the firewall being leaked unencrypted on port 63 if the resolver is temporarily unavailable." --> should be changed to port 53.

Thanks for catching that! I've pushed a fix. If it's not up yet, it will be momentarily when the build finishes.
