Explanation

DNS Sinkholing is a feature configured within the Anti-Spyware security profile. When a client queries a malicious domain, the firewall intercepts the DNS response and replaces it with a sinkhole IP address (configured in the Anti-Spyware profile's DNS Sinkhole settings). This redirects infected hosts attempting to reach C2 servers to a controlled IP, making infected devices visible and blockable. Antivirus, Vulnerability Protection, and URL Filtering profiles do not contain DNS Sinkhole configuration options.
