The internet doesn’t understand our languages, it communicates in machine languages such as IP addresses. Every time you visit a website with your computer or laptop, the device translates the name of the websites you type into the browser to an IP address. This is made possible by the DNS (domain name system) which resolves human-readable hostnames like the name of a website and translates them to IP addresses. Therefore, no internet connection is possible without a DNS query. Malware isn’t spared either, to steal or corrupt data in your computer, it needs to communicate with its control and command servers which is only possible via the DNS. This is why a DNS Firewall is critical to a DNS server. For more information, the resources at www.bluecatnetworks.com may be helpful to you.

Government agencies are also starting to get involved in the process. The Government Communications Headquarters of the United Kingdom, or GCHQ, is working towards the adoption of a national dns firewall for all of Britain.
