WatchGuard : DNS Servers

Information

The DNS server IP address should be reviewed. A DNS server may return malicious IP addresses in response to requests for domains that are normally good. This provides an avenue to leak information about the appliance or to download untrusted content.

Solution

In the Web UI , navigate to the 'Network' section , click on 'Interfaces' and populate the DNS server text box with a DNS server IP and then click 'Add'.
