TrueNAS Can Ping DNS but Not Websites

Receiving this error when I attempt to check for updates.

I went into the shell and am able to ping DNS successfully (9.9.9.9, 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1) and my gateway successfully. However when I try to ping google.com or update.ixsystems.com it errors out. Same with Nslookup.

I have no problems pulling up google and accessing the internet with other tablets, phones and computers on this network.

Any advice or help here would be greatly appreciated.

I would check truenas network settings and maybe post them here, more info = better usually. And what kind of network card. Don’t have an answer off hand. I’d be curious what this says (the results):

dig @1.1.1.1 google.com

I wonder why it’s called Quad9? :sweat_smile:

Here is the Network Page:

And Interface Editing Page for good measure:

Still pretty confused on this one but I appreciate the look.

Well, confused also, see nothing wrong there (other than the failed DNS query of course). What is Truenas connected to, a fancy switch with vlans and such, a simple switch, what connects to the internet, etc.? You didn’t load any of your own firewalls or have an appliance or something that directs/limits traffic, etc? I am not using Dragonfish so not sure what network stuff may have been changed either.

I presume the blanked out local ip is some private LAN address on your network? And your hidden default route, what does that point to?

Ok so I figured it out. I pointed the first nameserver at the default gateway instead of an external DNS. Up and running now.

Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Its funny actually. You redacted the only bits of information we actually would’ve cared about.

And that information, if it’s a private network address (192.168, 10., 172. etc) is not really a secret.
