Hi,
We recently had a problem with the local DNS in the USG40w.
Computer were not able to resolv local and external names even after many reboots.
At the end, I was able to fix it by adding a main Zone Forwarder, removing the one forwarding to 8.8.8.8 and adding one to 1.1.1.1 and then it unlock the situation straight forward.
I would like to know how we can manage the DNS server on that router, is it possible to restart it manually ? to check his status ?
Also, I noticed a Domain Zone Forwarder, type Default which I cannot modify, or delete.. Is it normal ? I couln't find anything in the documentation regarding this issue.
Thanks,
Davy

Which firmware is working on your USG?
The “Default DNS" is offered by DHCP server or ISP after connected to PPPoE.
As your screenshot, there is no DNS IP offered to this USG.
If you would like to check DNS status, you can use CLI command to check if "named" still exist in processing list.
