Your web browser is dumb…without DNS
Did you know that your web browser has no idea how to find websites? When you type in a URL like academy.networkchuck.com, your browser doesn’t know where to go. That’s where DNS, the Domain Name System, comes in to save the day!

In this video, we dive deep into the magic behind DNS. We explain how your browser queries DNS servers to resolve website names to IP addresses, making the internet work seamlessly. From how DNS can be hacked to how to secure your own DNS with tools like TwinGate’s SecureDNS, we’ve got you covered.

DNS Security Tips: Learn how to use DNS over HTTPS (DOH), DNS over TLS (DOT), and other methods to secure your browsing from hackers and prying eyes. Protect your privacy and keep your internet safe.
