  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

DNS configured as open resolver by default.

Hello Guys,

I have a lot of problem. Seems that the default installation of Bind on Windows plesk 11.x (i don't know if is also for Linux), configure bind by default as open resolver. Then we must fix the problem using this kb:

I'm wondering if i'm doing a wrong installation, of this type of installation is by default. In the second case, is there any reason?

Thank you.
 

Thanks for the link, but the point is not how to fix, but why the default installation configure bind as
open resolver dns. In the last few months, all of these open resolver are used to bring up DNS Amplification attacks,
so I think that the plesk default installation should configure automatically bind to not have recursion open from
all internet.
