This guy sure is angry that his consumer electronics device is architected to be maximally convenient to set-up and use for the common user.
He may want to consider an alternative product. Or use his 1337 hacker skills to modify his already-customized local routing configuration to just do the thing this consumer electronics device is assuming is standard (i.e. accessing services by IP on the Internet) by telling his network to proxy 8.8.8.8 to some other IP he designates.

- fixermark 8y agoI know, and yes, it was intended to be sarcastic. ;) He of all people should understand that the practical implementation of DNS and DHCP has become so broken by bad-acting ISPs that consumer electronics devices end up side-stepping the spec entirely so the thing works for the common consumer user.
- bobthedino 8y agoFair enough!
