DNS

Domain Name System (DNS) translates website names into IP addresses. DNS security involves:

DNS Risks

• DNS hijacking - malicious redirection to fake websites
• DNS spoofing - providing false DNS responses
• DNS monitoring - tracking websites you visit
• DNS blocking - preventing access to certain sites

DNS Protection Measures

• Use secure DNS providers (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Quad9 9.9.9.9)
• Enable DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT)
• Configure DNS filtering to block malicious domains
• Regularly verify DNS settings
