[SOLVED] Disabling LLMR/mDNS (port 5353)

i've added files on /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/x.conf

which have

[Resolve]
LLMR=no

among other things. But i still get garbage LLMR (it's practically microsoft netbios v2) running on port 5353.

At first i assumed that file was not being picked up, So edited /etc/systemd/resolved.conf directly.

after `systemctl daemon-reload` and `systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service` I still have port 5353 open.

 $ sudo  ss -l -p '( sport = :5353 )'

port 5353 is MDNS, not LLMNR.

If you plan to use LLMNR and use a firewall, make sure to open UDP and TCP ports 5355.

Check port 5355 .

potato. potahtoh

It's all mostly the same for me. They are mostly useless outside of windows environment. Microsoft is moving from LLMNR to mdns and probably keeping the port number? i don't know.

what is crazy is systemd folks assuming everyone using linux wants that open to the world on all their machines. Their microsoft alegiance signaling is getting out of hand. specially since even microsoft abandoned it: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ … -p/3290816

LLMNR are rarely used today. This means that having them enabled needlessly expands the attack surface of devices and increases the load on the networks they use

If you plan to use LLMNR and use a firewall, make sure to open UDP and TCP ports 5355.

Check port 5355 .

Wild. I'm seeing port 5353, as you can see from the command on my 1st post. Maybe that's the newport if microsoft keep 5353 to mdns?

But i'm trying to get rid of it all. Not expose even more.

Thanks, I see what you mean now.

I have to disable both!

adding `MulticastDNS=no` to that config file solved it.
