AdGuard Home on pfSense

Zim

Started exploring pfSense recently. Have the router/firewall setup and running. Want to add more packages like AdGuard Home (don't want pfBlockerNG) etc.

Followed this tutorial to get it up and running. I realize that this method only has AdGuard working on 1 interface. I tried binding AdGuard to 0.0.0.0:53 to make sure all DNS queries from all interfaces are going to AdGuard. This seems to work but in console I see (quite regularly) messages like 172.20.xx.xx:4851 (various LAN IPs with random ports) trying to reach Unbound at port 53535 resulting in an i/o error or timeout.

The DNS queries take a REALLY long time. In AGH dashboard, I see queries averaging 300+ms. When I was running AGH on the Asus router, I was averaging 4 ms.

I've since reinstalled pfSense and have not installed AdGuard to reset all settings.

Any tips to troubleshoot and get AGH to work properly on all interfaces?
Setup I'm going for is: DNS queries from all interfaces -> AdGuard Home -> Unbound (as the upstream server from AGH)

I can confirm the upstream server in AdGuard home is correct and working.
