For over 40 years, the @ietf has shaped how DNS works, making the Internet reliable, secure, and globally interoperable. At the Uganda DNS Forum, we’re inspired by this global collaboration — and we’re working to strengthen Uganda’s DNS ecosystem through awareness & training

🌐 Did you know? The Domain Name System (DNS) — the technology that turns names like uganda.or.ug into IP addresses — is built on open standards developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Happy Data Privacy Day 2025! This year’s theme: "Take Control of Your Data." 🛡️ Privacy is power—your data, your rules. ✅ Strengthen passwords ✅ Enable 2FA ✅ Review app & website permissions Your data is your story. Own it. Protect it. #DataPrivacyDay #YourDataYourPower

Thanks to DNS, browsing is as easy as riding from home to Kikuubo Market! #DNSMadeSimpleUG

Think of DNS as a boda boda guide 🚴‍♂ who takes you to your destination. When you type a website name like ntv.co.ug, DNS finds the exact ‘address’ (IP address) and connects you. Without DNS, you’d have to memorize all the numbers! 🧠
