DNS

Table of Contents

• Initialization

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical and distributed name service that provides a naming system for computers, services, and other resources on the Internet or other Internet Protocol (IP) networks. This module registers those services.

Note

The DNS server implementation is currently a small example component within a captive portal example. A standalone DNS component will be available starting with ESP-IDF version 6.0.0.

Initialization

Initialization takes place in init(). It creates a DNS server and responds to all queries with the address of the softAP. This technique is often called DNS hijacking, DNS redirection, or DNS wildcard resolution.

Warning

The DNS server will not redirect HTTPS requests.
