I will give the "-s" switch a try, hopefully that works. My other "try" will be to mirror my media server on another drive directly plugged into the Pi via USB, although others have recommended not doing that. I will let you know my findings. Thank you. Q: Why can packets not be broadcast from one wireless interface to…

Here is another look - I filtered TM to an IP I knew on the wireless network (192.168.100.114) and can see the Internal Policy is directing DNS to the Gateway, as expected. The documentation on line DOES STATE that the Firebox will handle AND Cache the DNS up to 10,000 entries, and/or also forward DNS queries to the server…

So - I had a bit of an epiphany for me, and thought "Why not filter in TM just the DNS Server address and see what's up?" So I did. It appears that in addition to the wired "Trusted" range (192.168.111.x) that my Trusted "Wireless" interface is querying the DNS Server (wireless=192.168.100.x). See here:

Ooooops! Here:

OH! I also forgot to mention that on the 192.168.111.x range, in Network Interfaces, I specified 192.168.111.3 as my DNS server on that network ONLY, not on the other ranges Interface tabs.

I can see that the queries are being forwarded to "DNS Forwarding" as part of the internal Policy....and the documentation states that queries regarding DNS are forwarded to the DNS Server specified (mine is local "pi.hole" and resides at 192.168.111.3 on my "Trusted Network) and DNS Forwarding is "listening" on Trusted,…

Thank you. I will try to do what you indicate above. In my reading, it does state that when you enable DNS Forwarding that the packets are sent tot he DNS Server that is specified. It LOOKS as if it is working......I just am a confirmation kind of guy.

Here is a snapshot of my Traffic Monitor; how can I be assured that the Firebox is using the Pi as the DNS Server? It does state DNS Forwarding is being used. The pi is listed (above) as domain name "pi.hole", with the DNS address being 192.168.111.3 (in the DNS/WINS section of Interfaces). Sorry for all of the questions,…

Thank you, it would not let me proceed with the DNS server address without a domain name. That's where I filled in the default name for the Pi, e.g., "pi.hole".
-
I set it as such (it appears the default domain name is pi.hole)

Thank you, does it sound like I set this up correctly? I cannot add a "domain name" since it is a server that resides on my local network. I f I need to do that, please advise how I can.
