Im trying to setup a DNS record in Opnsense to forward ex:( ***.local.mydomain.com ) to (192.168.1.777(nginx proxy)) but every option in Opnsense that I try it doesn’t forward to my reverse proxy machine.

I have Unbound,AdguardHome and wireguard installed on the Opnsense.

Unbound port is 53 Adguard port is 5353

I tried going to: Services>Dnsmasq DNS>settings>host override, but it didn’t seem to work I also tried logging to AdguardHome>filter>DNS rewrite, but it also didn’t seem to work

What am I doing wrong, when I type (nslookup *.local.mydomain.com) I only get the response “server can’t find *.local.mydomain.com”

Solved!!

In Opnsense I created a rule to forward my domain to an IP. You just need to go to Services>unbound>overrides>host overrides and add your domain

    If you have adguard on port 53 that will be your first hop and main DNS server. If you setup rewrite on adguard to point *.local.my domain.con to 192.168.1.777 that should be good. Next ensure your DHCP server sets correct DNS server for clients.

    https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/dhcp.html

    Next I would ensure that the client you’re testing with is pointing to the adguard DNS. In this case your open sense router on port 53.

    Depending what you’re testing with on Linux you can check /etc/resolv.conf

    You can run dig command to point directly to your adguard server to verify it works and you have connectivity

    dig @192.168.1.1 something.local.my domain.com
