Description

Creates a temporary standalone DNS responder for Certbot DNS-01 verification. It is useful when an administrator can route challenge DNS traffic to the machine instead of using a provider-specific API plugin.

Standalone DNS validation can expose a network service and depends on correct delegation, ports, and firewall rules. Use it only when you understand the DNS path for the domain being validated.
