I would like to monitor number of DNS queries that sent to the pfsense, where the pfsense here is the local recursive dns for the clients, can I do it? and how?
thanks in advance

Thanks for catching the typo. The SNMP interface should use port 161 while the Agent interface should use 10050

Thank you for this guide. I’m deploying a similar setup with pfSense 2.7, but I’m having difficulty getting the Zabbix agent to communicate with the server.

Both the server and the pfSense listen interface are on the same subnet. I have added two rules on pfSense for TCP/10050 and UDP/161.

Your example uses port 10050 for both SNMP and Agent interfaces. Is that correct? Shouldn’t the SNMP interface use port 161?

In reply to Chris. I am monitoring my pfSense from within my network, not through the WAN port, so there is no CGNAT. For remote monitoring, I connect to the VPN.

How do you do an active agent? Firewall is behind CGNAT
