About this tag
The firewall dns tcp tag covers Windows DNS cache poisoning mitigation, specifically Microsoft's ADV200013 advisory. This guidance applies to Windows Server 2022, 2025, and Server Core installations, recommending that administrators set the MaximumUdpPacketSize to 1221 bytes.

The tag focuses on enterprise IT security, Windows Server hardening, and DNS protocol configuration to protect against network-based threats.
