Very good summary of most of the important parts. Some time ago I actually read through the whole RFC as I implemented my own DNS server from scratch in C# :D It currently runs on my raspberry pi with mono. ps: SOA stands for Start Of Authority, not "State" :) Other than that all pretty accurate and comprehensive. pps: fun fact: in german "acid" is called "Säure" and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is actually called "DNS" in german (Desoxyribonukleinsäure). I think that's pretty fitting, the DNA of the internet :)
This was fun, I know dns but still liked it. It's been a while since I've seen any of your videos. I still remember before you went YT full time. You've done so well. Keep it up!
I was looking into your videos from 4 years ago, and today, the editing and the quality of the metaphors to simplify your explanations is second to none, thanks for inspiring how instruction should be done.
"There is no spoon" from The Matrix. You and your movies. You know a message is no longer a secret when you publish it on DNS. Everybody and their computers know it. Love your videos and humor.
Sorry, Chuck, but you missed a HUGELY CRITICAL aspect. The hosts file. Before it reaches out to stub to resolve, it'll look at anything in the hosts file to see if there's a static entry. This is also a common malware/hacking method to mess with people and hack them. It's literally the first thing you should probably check to ensure it's not interfering with something in DNS (because? it's literally the first thing your device will check). If your device checks that first, you should check it first as well. There's a lot of malware out there that will bar you from even looking at your own hosts file, even though you're an admin, by the way. It's kind of a dead giveaway that your device is infected.
Awesome video, Chuck! Could you dive deeper into setting up a homelab server, particularly the hardware requirements for a budget-friendly build? It'd be great to see a comparison of the cost-effectiveness and benefits of running a homelab versus leveraging free cloud solutions or opting out of a homelab entirely. Keen to see more in-depth content on this-keep up the great work!
1. Great job on this explanation! Def helped to better understand DNS! 2. It is funny that Bernard's phone number goes to a McDonalds in San Jose, CA! lol
It is crazy to think about DNS files being measured in kbs and a simple txt file. Paul Mockpetris earned his Hall of Fame recognition. The internet is awesome.
Chuck your videos are always top-notch and easy to understand especially with the schematics and your lovely personality but please for the love of god make something that doesn't require a credit card, every time I'm following along with a tutorial I get halfway through then I'd have to sign up with a credit card-- please think of the rest of us who might not have credit cards and aren't from the US
Your videos are awesome...Can you please share what software/hardware you are using to present your tutorials on the screen (freehand writing) with all the diff colors and stuff. BTW, I'm using a MAC computer. Thanks!
Hey, will you ever do a WiFi 7 video explained similar to the WiFi 6 video? Or have you done one already and I've missed it? You're the reason I was excited for WiFi 6 and it has now filtered down to my team mates as well who have been helping upgrading our customers.
Very informative, as per usual! A couple of questions. If I am connect through a VPN service, like ExpressVPN, are my DNS requests routed through there as well, or are they traveling separately (and therefore exposed) from my actual web traffic. Second question, are your ISPs DNS servers also "recursive" similar to your Google example?
There you are with another awesome video. Is there anything you can't make easy to understand. No is probably the answer to that question, but maybe there is one subject, cars, wood...SPOONS!! Spoon, I'm sure you can't make a spoon interesting, I challenge you.
I wanted to create my own authoritative DNS server but it was kinda scary to configure something then switch it from cloudflare, then wait and pray that my services will work when DNS changes are fully propagated. Now i think i have better understanding of different types records so i think i will do it sometime soon. Anyway where is that spoooon ;D
"You are awesome! You just queried a TXT record and found this secret message! Take a sip of coffee and give yourself a pat on the back. Post this in the comments to let people know you found it: \"there is no spoon\"" Funny RUclips recommends me this video after I came back from the DNS Forum.
DOH is nice. Not enough though. The resolver is still vulnerable if the remote zone is not dnssec enabled. (Also, making your own recursive resolver is cool) (Also, there is no spoon)

Thank you for this one. Wou you please create one for securing email servers.
Cheers! K.E
everything can be hacked , Chuck ;)
Please, I want to speak with ChatGPT on my Windows PC, but there isn't a version for Windows. Can anyone help me overcome this problem?
Public yha site paid dns required more secure your IP ... .. more firewall in needed
there is no spoon -- Your videos helped get a job in IT and change my life forever. Thank You brother.!!
Your humor just makes it more exciting 😭... I much love networking
Learning Networking is very Important
understanding basics that dont change in 20 years truly does. thats the base knowledge
My favorite topic DNS, remember "it's Always DNS"
I'm new here, how often do I have to remind myself it's always dns?

Why DNS 😢
except when it is IPv6
You’re right “there is no spoon”, only sporks.
the editor on this video is insane 😂😂😂

I haven't seen the full video, but WOW the first 2 minutes. You explanations are awesome! Thanks for doing this.
It's not DNS.
There's no way it's DNS.
It was DNS.
all days at work
pretty sure i have a mouse pad with that haiku
it's always dns
Ahh, I have this haiku framed in my office.
It was a full DHCP Server... We had no free internal IP addresses for that network left.
It’s hilarious how well that comparison between DNS and a smartphone works so well 😂.
I'm so glad this landed well!
Also, please teach how to prevent DNS servers from getting hacked in upcoming videos.
your explanation with connecting real world examples is too good man !!
yooo, the comedy in this video really helps me to grasp the concept! Especially mafia boss!

Perfect timing. I recently took a deep dive into multiple ways to do a MITM attack. DNS spoofing is one of them.
Thank you so much for your content. You offer a lot of young people a perspective.
Just finished my cup of coffee. Now I'm ready for this video!
i dont drink coffee at all and work in IT for 17 years. im an imposter
I'm in IT for 75+ years I can't do it without steroids and painkillers
I have learned so many cool and useful things from this channel. Good job Chuck!!❤
Awesome way to explain … I will use this way to educate others on dns ……keep making good videos chuck
I love this, this is packed with so much knowledge. Keep them coming ❤❤❤
Great video! Clear, concise, and fun. Love the content.
I just finished my CNS exam and now i get recommended this vid😂
From one Chuck to another; you rock, dude!
How am I supposed to eat my cereal when "there is no spoon"!
Slurp it
Or stir my coffee?!
there is no such a thing.. forget it
Hand
Thank you Chuck! You are an amazing teacher and you make the mundane fun ❤
honestly i hate your coffee breaks but i love your content 😅

You don't have the Idea how much I Learn from your videos. I'm kid from INDIA, and I request you don't stop it. ❤
Nice work, you nailed it and made it entertaining. I will refer my students to this.
"there is no spoon" Awesome video as always Chuck! I was just in the process of choosing between self-hosted AdGuard and NextDNS
Which command used to get answer? Im strucked
@@shivanagendra2406 i used the "dig" command and im also in Linux, not on Windows, don't know if Windows has that cli command

I just started Network+ I love learning about this stuff
1. Great job on this explanation! Def helped to better understand DNS! 2. It is funny that Bernard's phone number goes to a McDonalds in San Jose, CA! lol
Solid video. Thanks for the kind words in your secret message too.
I love your teachings it has helped a lot
You have the best tech videos fr
Really looking forward to PART 2 😁
Im a fan of chuck. Really Love you and your contents
mentioned Philippines. Mabuhay Network Chuck! :)
One of the best DNS video explanation I have seen. Kudos.
even back then most people didn't really remember any phone numbers apart from their own, they used phone books (or whatever they were called)
Pablo knows everything. Pablo is the goat.
I love the reference from Matrix, one of the reasons why IT fascinates me so much - "there is no spoon"
5:10 lmao at the *Kokey* reference. 😂
Yeah CCNA ❤ networking video 🎉❤

"Your browser is kind of dumb"
I couldn't agree more (I am forced to use Edge on this borrowed PC)
Good Explanation bruh👍👍👍👍
Yes, "there is no spoon"! Thx for this great lesson!
there is no spoon .... Thanks NetworkChuck!! You are awesome too, take a sip of coffee
I like network Chuck. And I like his presentation style.
But who is the Bob Ross of cyber security? ;)
waiting for part two boss ✊
Wait, usually DNS makes my internet NOT work 😂
My stub has been quite resolved, thank you.
Well done, Chuck! 👍
This guy is really good like damn🤯
Please make a practical video on each and every protocol you know....❤❤
there is no spoon. Loved this video , Awsome !!

11:38 Waldo got a glow up. Drippy.
Loved this video! How do you make concepts so easy to understand? .... there is no spoon
That was very informative.
Fantastic video for learning!
"there is no spoon"
i love your homeworks
GD bless you and family Mr Chuck. Ty, I thank the LORD for filling you w/HIS purpose and your desire to share
Loved that old fashioned telephone -> 0:39
I was looking for a comment like this, while I've paused the video at that timestamp 😂 now everyone can call him
Very informative, as per usual! A couple of questions. If I am connect through a VPN service, like ExpressVPN, are my DNS requests routed through there as well, or are they traveling separately (and therefore exposed) from my actual web traffic. Second question, are your ISPs DNS servers also "recursive" similar to your Google example?
Yes (normally) and yes.
Learned a lot!
Damn bruh, if only teachers in school would teach kids like you do here.... Imagine the possibilities 😯
I gave in at "Network Chuck from the future here...." 14:13 😂
#ItWasDNS
Did you get deep-sleep on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 working yet?
Only one comment 😅 lemme fix that 🎉
I finally went to a micro center for the first time. Sadly i live in switzerland, i dont have a micro center :(
Got a raspberry pi 5 there
You are the best man. Just keep going with this sh*t.
There you are with another awesome video.
Is there anything you can't make easy to understand.
No is probably the answer to that question, but maybe there is one subject, cars, wood...SPOONS!!
Spoon, I'm sure you can't make a spoon interesting, I challenge you.
Something else that's fun with DNS. You can use DNScat to perform data exfil.
Great for a review, also meme game strong. About lost it at Mr cool ice 😂
"there is no spoon" available at taco bell, they only have sporks
pro tip: the quickest way to query DNS is through `dig ` (pre-installed on Macs)
22:58 Nailed it man, "I don't care It's my video" 🤣
Cool video, thanks! :)
That was a fun little quest
