Red Hat ☛ Strengthen privacy and security with encrypted DNS in RHEL
In today's digital landscape, security is a top priority. You're likely already using encryption at the application layer, but is your DNS traffic as secure? Your applications can leak valuable information to your internet service provider (ISP) and other network observers through unencrypted DNS queries.
Your computer constantly sends out DNS queries, quietly translating human-friendly names like
company-server.redhat.cominto IP addresses. These essential requests often travel over the network in plain, unencrypted text. This isn’t a minor detail; it’s an exploitable vulnerability.An unencrypted DNS query is like sending a postcard through the mail; anyone can read what's on it. An encrypted DNS query, on the other hand, is like sending a sealed letter; only the intended recipient can read it.
