What are the DNS53, DoT, DoH, and mklog protocols in Lumiun DNS?

Explanation of the terms DNS53 (also called Do53 or traditional DNS), DoT (DNS over TLS), DoH (DNS over HTTPS), and mklog that are mentioned in Lumiun DNS.

When using Lumiun DNS, you may encounter the terms DNS53, DoT, DoH, and mklog. This article explains what each one means and how they relate to the system's operation and reports.

DNS53

DNS53 is the traditional internet name resolution protocol. It operates without encryption, which makes it simpler but less secure compared to newer methods.

  • Port used: 53

  • Protocols: UDP (main) and TCP

DoT

DoT (DNS over TLS) is a protocol that adds layers of security to DNS resolution by using TLS (Transport Layer Security) to encrypt all DNS traffic.

  • Port used: 853 (TCP)

DoH

DoH is a technology that, like DoT, aims to improve DNS security and privacy by encrypting DNS queries and responses with TLS.

  • Port used: 443 (TCP)

mklog

Mklog is not a DNS transmission protocol, but rather a designation used in Lumiun DNS to identify logs generated on MikroTik equipment and sent to the Lumiun DNS system for processing and report generation. For mklog-type logs, the protocol (Do53, DoT, or DoH) used in the query will not be reported.
