DNS DoT Explained: What is DNS over TLS & How it Works

DoT, which stands for 'DNS over TLS', is a method of securing DNS queries by using the TLS encryption protocol. This encryption protects DNS queries from being intercepted, tampered with, or replayed, providing enhanced privacy for users. It's similar to DoN ('DNS over HTTPS'), another protocol designed to secure DNS queries, but DoT utilizes TLS while DoN uses HTTPS. Both DoT and DoN aim to improve DNS security and privacy by preventing eavesdropping, manipulation, and replay attacks.
