DNS session helpers (dns-tcp and dns-udp)
FortiOS includes two DNS session helpers, dns-tcp, a session helper for DNS over TCP, and dns-udp, a session helper for DNS over UDP.
To accept DNS sessions you must add a security policy with service set to any or to the DNS pre-defined service (which listens on TCP and UDP ports 53). The dns-udp session helper also listens on UDP port 53. By default the dns-tcp session helper is disabled. If needed you can use the following command to enable the dns-tcp session helper to listen for DNS sessions on TCP port 53:
config system session-helper edit 0
set name dns-tcp set port 53
set protocol 6
end
