Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall is now available in additional regions

Regional Expansion

Amazon has expanded the availability of Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall to two new regions: Asia Pacific (Thailand) and Mexico (Central).

  • Enables governance and filtering of outbound DNS traffic in Amazon VPCs
  • Allows blocking queries for low-reputation or malicious domains
  • DNS Firewall Advanced can detect and block threats like Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA) and DNS Tunneling
  • Works with Route 53 Resolver, the default recursive DNS server in VPCs
  • Responds to DNS queries for public records, VPC-specific domains, and private hosted zones

This expansion provides enhanced DNS security and threat protection for AWS customers in additional geographic regions.
