DNS Query

The request your device sends to resolve Stripchat's domain.

Definition​

A DNS query is the request a client sends to a resolver asking for the records associated with a domain name (e.g., stripchat.com). Queries include the record type (A, AAAA, CNAME) and are answered with either the requested data or a referral.

Why it matters​

  • Visibility: ISPs can inspect queries to detect when users access adult sites.
  • Manipulation: Injecting forged responses or NXDOMAIN replies blocks Stripchat.
  • Diagnostics: Capturing queries helps confirm whether your device is using the intended resolver.

Tips​

  1. Use tools like dig or nslookup to manually issue queries and inspect responses.
  2. Encrypt DNS queries (DoH/DoT) so third parties can't read or modify them.
  3. If Stripchat fails to load, monitor queries with tcpdump port 53 to see where they stall.
