Hi,
I'm having some trouble with for example korben.info domain which give me a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN.
The outpuf of dig is :
dig korben.info

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-9+deb8u10-Debian <<>> korben.info
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 5898

I'm using google DNS.

Did you run that on the Pi-hole? Run pihole -d for a debug token.

3

The token is : 203puogbir

4

The debug log shows that everything seems to be working normally. What machine did you run that original dig command on?

5

on the pi itself and my other computers can't access this website

6

it's the same dig response on another computer :
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> korben.info
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

If I disable DNSSEC, it works again... strange

Try these on the Pi and other computers:

nslookup doubleclick.com
nslookup google.com
9

On some versions of dnsmasq, DNSSEC doesn't work correctly.

10

nslookup doubleclick.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Name: doubleclick.com
Address: 192.168.1.5

nslookup google.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Address: 216.58.201.238

11

Ok if not reliable I will simply disable it

12

There are some threads that show how to update dnsmasq to support DNSSEC, but it's definitely not necessary.

13

Thanks for all these answers

The DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error is very common.

Before panicking clear the cache and cookies of your browser.

If that doesn't work then maybe you need to try out some advanced methods.

Restart DNS Client service: This is the method that worked for me and helped.

I read this article: https://www.gadgetarmy.com/dns_probe_finished_nxdomain-error/

Solution number 2 from the above article to be precise. Let me know if the issue is resolved or not.

Is there any permanent solution for this DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error? I often find it and somehow I manage to fix it but after few days it starts appearing again. Can't figure out to get rid from it forever.
