Question

DNS logs show different app names

Hello,

 

In the firewall logs, different app names appear while DNS is expected to be seen as application in internet-directed DNS traffic, what is the reason for this? Can you give information about the subject? 

 

Best Regards,

    Hi @AEK,

    As seen in the image, there are apps such as “Yahoo.Mail” and “Google Translate”.

    You are right, I can see the same in my firewall logs. I also see that Googlt.Traslate app signature uses DNS UDP 53, just like regular DNS query. I guess this some DNS queries that are sent to 8.8.8.8 (google) are assimilated to Google.Translate application.

      Hi @AEK ,

       

      How can I get more precise information on the subject? How can I prevent this from showing up in the logs?

      Hi Ismail

      This is just my deduction according to what I see in the logs, I don't have further information.

      Hope some more experienced member can give a more precise answer.
