Excuse my ignorance of DNS, but isn't the resolver a software component in most people's computers? For example, in GNU/Linux, I thought it'd be a part of libc

Excuse my ignorance of DNS, but isn't the resolver a software component in most people's computers? For example, in GNU/Linux, I thought it'd be a part of libc and what read /etc/resolv.conf. What do you mean by connection between client and resolver?
Or are name servers like 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 what you mean by resolvers?
- ilovecaching 8y agoHe means a recursive resolver. A stub resolver is also referred to as a client, so it's clear from context. When you connect to 1.1.1.1 you're using DoT, but not necessarily from the recursive to the authoritative.
