NSA 3600 is spaming with DNS queries

TrautiTrauti Newbie ✭

Hi,

I have a NSa 3600 and setup a pi-hole just yesterday.

I started noticing that since last night the sonicwall made around 1mio requests.

It is almost 30 queries per second!


I can´t even look in the logs of the pi-hole, cause it will crash Q_Q

In the sonicwall, Rebinding Attack Prevention, Split DNS, DNS Proxy, Sinkhole Service are all disabled.

Anyone got an idea why there is so many queries?

    Why are you pointing your firewall to the pi-hole again?

    Is that big number? DNS could be used for a lot of things on a Sonicwall. We don't know much about your network so it's hard to say if it's a big number or not.
