Cisco Secure Access Help Network Requirements for Secure Access Secure Access DNS Resolvers Cisco Secure Client

Cisco Secure Client

The Cisco Secure Client Umbrella Roaming Security module uses standard DNS ports 53/UDP and 53/TCP to communicate with Secure Access. If you explicitly block access to third-party DNS servers on your corporate or home network, you must allow certain CIDRs on the ports and protocols in your firewall.

In circumstances where third-party DNS servers are blocked, the Cisco Secure Client Umbrella Roaming Security module transitions to a state where it temporarily uses the DHCP-delegated DNS servers for resolution.
