Description

System --> General Setup --> DNS Server Settings --> DNS Server Override --> [x] Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN or remote OpenVPN server

This populates my DNS server list with the ISP's DNS servers. Working fine with 22.05-RELEASE.

Today, I updated to 23.01-RELEASE and after reboot I realized that the internet is inaccessible. Also, all OpenVPN clients were "offline". After logging into the GUI, I saw that the DNS server list was empty. Additional reboots didn't solve it. Rebooting into 22.05-RELASE instantly restores working order.

I need the ISP DNS servers for the PBX/VoIP. Also, they are used for OpenVPN tunnel initialization etc.

Thanks for looking into this.

pfsense+ runs on a Supermicro E200-9A with 16GB ECC RAM and a 256MB SSD, using zfs.

ISP is Deutsche Telekom. Connection is PPPoE over fiber.

I can reproduce this here locally at least on one system.

The DNS servers are not getting passed through to /usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkup somehow. It's reading the GUI setting properly and it creates /var/etc/nameserver_pppoe0 but it's empty.

The test in the code that generates the MPD config for PPP interfaces isn't checking the override setting correctly so the MPD directives to request DNS servers are not placed in the MPD config for the interface. Looks like a simple fix. Commit incoming momentarily.

  • Subject changed from PPP linkup script is not receiving DNS information on connect to PPP interface MPD configuration does not contain parameters to request DNS servers when "DNS Server Override" is enabled

Updating the subject to match the root cause of the problem.

You can install the System Patches package and then create an entry for e53f0573d853325dfb463eab8bfe59a9f4d6ce61 to apply the fix. You will need to save/apply the interface or reboot after applying the patch.
