Private DNS on Windows

· 6 min read

OpenZiti's tunnelers have a killer feature, a superpower, if you will: "Private" DNS. "Private DNS," I hear you ask with a subtle tone of disbelief, "what does that mean?" When you have an OpenZiti tunneler running on your system with one or more enrolled identities, it's likely those services have "intercepts" configured. Those intercepts are often in the form of some DNS entry and those DNS entries are only available to your system when OpenZiti is running. That, is what it means to have "Private DNS". These private DNS entries are valuable because they are only available to people who are authenticated and authorized to have them. If you're not authorized, you won't see the entry at all. That's very cool!
