Was playing around with NextDns for the first time today and I saw some DNS queries in the logs that were a bit surprising. Was wondering if there were anyway to just look at DNS queries on the firewalla?

  Firewalla is flow-based (the actual traffic going to the destination), which is much more realistic than DNS lookups. What you can do is just look at the network flows. See https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049374514-How-to-Secure-Your-Network-with-Firewalla-Part-1-Visibility

  You might want to simply install Pi-hole on Firewalla which is free and gives you full DNS query visibility.
