The Engine uses dnsmasq for DNS resolution since OS v2.0-beta.1, by passing the dnsmasq IP using `--dns` when starting up balenad. It is less complicated to have dnsmasq handle DNS resolution; the firewall adding DNS rules to iptables is overly complex with an unclear & undocumented reason as to why. "WIP" indicates that this commit is under consideration for its security impact. Change-type: patch Signed-off-by: Christina Ying Wang <[email protected]>
