Yes and no. DNS typically is UDP. We don't need a reliable(*) IP connection for DNS.


(*) in the IP sense of the word.

Understood & thanks.

I defaulted to Apple's info (but I'm curious why they state TCP port 53 as well - ?), and was responding quickly to what I thought to be a strange question.

I meant to add/state instead: that's there by design and Gerben should have an earlier "allow" rule for DNS traffic as/if desired.
