Security Connector 2.6.8 is now available for upgrade and functions as a DNS proxy (beta)

Depending on your configuration, Security Connector 2.6.8 now acts as a DNS proxy and a DNS sinkhole. When used as a DNS proxy, Security Connector is an internal DNS resolver that forwards traffic to Enterprise Threat Protector for resolution. With the DNS proxy, you identity the machine that’s making the request. The DNS proxy detects the internal client IP address and internal hostname.

DNS Proxy is currently in beta. To participate in the beta, contact your Akamai representative.

Security Connector 2.6.8 also includes fixes to DNS sinkhole functionality. These updates are available when you upgrade or deploy Security Connector.

For more information on DNS proxy, including setup and best practices, see the Security Connector Setup and Configuration Guide or the online help.
