DNS request timed out (Again)

I've read other users posts who have experienced the dreaded "DNS request timed out" error and also DNS best practice and Rulz but still have no idea what causes this:

C:\Windows\system32>nslookup api.netatmo.com
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.0.1

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Non-authoritative answer:
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Name:    front-azure.netatmo.net
Address:  51.145.143.28
Aliases:  api.netatmo.com

192.168.0.0/24 has been added to DNS-Global-Allowed Networks

DNS-Forwarders have been configured with an Availability group containing Cloudflare Gateway DNS servers and 'Use forwarders assigned by ISP' is unchecked

DNS-Request Routing is empty. I'm not doing any reverse DNS for internal IPs

QoS is disabled for all networks

If I specify one of the Cloudflare DNS servers on the same host, instead of the UTM as the DNS server, no DNS time outs occur.

Here are some DNS logs:

What am I not understanding?

    Hi ,

    What's an observation with 'DNS forwarders' as google DNS IP 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare IP 1.1.1.1?

    Which IPs are added in Cloudflare availability group?

    Ensure to an exception for UDP port 53 service to skip UDP Flood Protection.

  • If the client is configured to use a public DNS server instead of my UTM, the issue is resolved.

    I do not wish to use Google or 1.1.1.1

    Cloudflare's Gateway DNS service addresses are 172.64.36.1 and .2

    I don't know how to create:

    an exception for UDP port 53 service to skip UDP Flood Protection.

    If Anti-DoS/Flooding is enabled then add an exception list under Network Protection > Intrusion Prevention > Exceptions to skip UDP flood for DNS service.

    You may also add a rule on top to allow DNS service.

    You can also take a packet capture to know the response time for DNS queries from Cloudflare's Gateway DNS servers.
