DNS (53)

The DNS module is really a DNS proxy server, allowing you to log DNS requests and forward them to a specific DNS server.

It is useful to create honeypots that mimic DNS server behavior, even on internal networks.

You can configure it to forward DNS queries to either an internal DNS server on your network or an external public DNS server (such as 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1).
