I'm not sure I understand how a web page can tell where DNS responses to the OS are coming from, but I suspect what you may want is the DNS Resolver checkbox for "Enable Forwarding Mode" which will force pfSense to forward the query on, rather than try to resolve the query against the root servers. Then it would use your OpenDNS servers, and where those servers are is up to OpenDNS. I assume they're big enough to have them worldwide...?

I am connecting to VPN italian server from UK and when I go to www.dnsleaktest.com, the main page says I'm connecting from Italy but then, when I do the advanced or standard tests, these say I'm located in the UK. I have: 2.4.3-RELEASE (amd64) built on Mon Mar 26 18:02:04 CDT 2018 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p7 Installed on a mini PC that is connected via WAN on a DLS modem (setup in pass through mode, not router mode). pfSense is acting as a DNS Resolver even though I have have OpenDNS set in the GENERAL tab (I believe these are not being used because I'm connected via DNS Resolver). Would it be best to configure pfSense as DNS FOrwarder? ALthough I'm not sure that this is going to resolve my DNS leak problem. All clients are confirgured with a DNS set to the IP of the pfSEnse machine. Any suggestions on what is the best way to configure DNS on pfSense where occasionally I fire up my OpenVPN connection?
