Configure DNS Security Over DoH (
Strata Cloud Manager
)

  1. Use the credentials associated with your Palo Alto Networks support account and log in to the
    Strata Cloud Manager
    on the hub.
  2. Create a Custom URL Category list that includes all DoH resolvers you want to enable traffic to/from (you will need the DNS server URL(s)).
  3. Create a Decryption Policy Rule that references the custom URL category list that you created in the previous step.
  4. Create or update a security policy rule and reference a DNS Security profile and a custom URL category list (
    Manage
    Configuration
    PAN-OS and
    Prisma Access
    Security Services
    URL Access Management
    ) containing the approved list of DoH servers.
  5. Create a block policy to decrypt HTTPS traffic and block all remaining unsanctioned DoH traffic that is not explicitly allowed by the custom URL category list (referenced in step 5) by using the App-ID:
    dns-over-https
    and the following URL category:
    encrypted-dns
    .
    If you already have an existing block policy to block DoH traffic, verify that the rule is placed below the previous security policy rule used to match with specific DoH resolvers listed in a custom URL category list object.
  6. (Optional) Search for activity on the firewall for HTTPS-encrypted DNS queries that have been processed using DNS Security.
    1. Select
      Activity
      Logs
      Log Viewer
      and select
      Threat
      .
    2. Submit a log query based on the application, using
      dns-over-https
      , for example,
      app = 'dns-over-https'
      .
    3. Select a log entry to view the details of a detected DNS threat that uses DoH.
    4. The threat
      Application
      is displayed in the
      General
      pane of the detailed log view. Other relevant details about the threat are displayed in their corresponding windows.
