I currently have OPNsense setup inside a proxmox server, and I am having trouble connecting to the internet. It seems like it could be related to DNS. When I ping www.google.com from my lan client (a fedora machine), I get “name or service not known”. When I ping 8.8.8.8 it is successful.

If I use OPNsense diagnostic interface and try to ping www.google.com it is also successful.

I’m not sure what’s going on here. I’m somewhat new to this.

    Make sure the client is getting a DHCP address from opnsense, and not somewhere else.
