DNS 5 REFUSED vs 23 BADCOOKIE
Both DNS 5 (REFUSED) and 23 (BADCOOKIE) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 5 indicates that query refused. The name server refuses to perform the requested operation for policy reasons. Meanwhile, 23 means that bad or missing server cookie. The DNS COOKIE option in the request is absent, malformed, or does not match the server's expected value.
説明
Query refused. The name server refuses to perform the requested operation for policy reasons.
このコードが表示される場合
The server rejected your query due to access control — for example, a recursive resolver that only serves its own network, or a zone transfer blocked by ACL.
解決方法
Check the server's allow-query, allow-recursion, or allow-transfer ACLs. If you are not authorized to use this resolver, switch to a public DNS service.
説明
Bad or missing server cookie. The DNS COOKIE option in the request is absent, malformed, or does not match the server's expected value.
このコードが表示される場合
Your resolver sent a query without a valid server cookie, or the cookie has expired. This is part of the DNS COOKIE mechanism to prevent spoofed-source attacks.
解決方法
Retry the query — most resolvers automatically learn the correct server cookie from the first response. If the error persists, ensure your resolver supports RFC 7873 DNS Cookies.
