+\fB\-n, \-\-nodns <min|none>\fR tells testssl\.sh which DNS lookups should be performed\. \fBmin\fR uses only forward DNS resolution (A and AAAA record or MX record) and skips CAA lookups and PTR records from the IP address back to a DNS name\. \fBnone\fR performs no DNS lookups at all\. For the latter you either have to supply the IP address as a target, to use \fB\-\-ip\fR or have the IP address in \fB/etc/hosts\fR\. The use of the switch is only useful if you either can't or are not willing to perform DNS lookups\. The latter can apply e\.g\. to some pentests\. In general this option could e\.g\. help you to avoid timeouts by DNS lookups\. \fBNODNS\fR is the environment variable for this\. \fB\-\-nodns=min\fR plus \fB\-\-ip=proxy\fR is useful for situations with no local DNS as there'll be no DNS timeouts when trying to resolve CAA, TXT and MX records\.
