Hi Everyone. 

 

today we was encountered the Fortigate Dynamic DNS issue in firmware 7.4.11 and 7.4.12. 

Restart the firewall few time still unable to access 

even ping google.com also unable to resolve but when PING 8.8.8.8 from Fortigate is reachable. 

 

In the Network → DNS → DNS server show Primary DNS and Secondary DNS server is unreachable. 

 

Even the host name unable to resolve

i think the confusion you are making is related to DNS over TLS ( TCP/853 ) which is enabled and used not working and not to Dynamic DNS which does something else.

setting it to DNS ( UDP/53 ) should fix your problem for now, but it could of been a problem with DOH on FortiGuard side.

It appears to be a temporary issue with DNS over TCP and FortiGuard, you could temporarily use standard port (UDP/53).

Thank for your help. after i enable the UDP/53 now is pingable and accessable.Â
