I use Sky. I wasn't aware of this. :( I also use my own router so I assume it doesn't affect me or does this mean that their network doesn't allow other DNS servers? How would that affect a VPN? I use PIA and they have their own DNS servers. I'll need to experiment with this when I get home I think.

> How would that affect a VPN? If your DNS requests are going over the VPN then you will be fine as they will be in the encrypted tunnel before they travel through your router so it can't do anything about them. A change to the router firmware won't be able to override DNS server settings on other individual hosts. If your router is providing the local VPN endpoint then that is another matter, but IIRC PIA runs on your local station. Do check that it is in fact setting your machine to send DNS requests over the link. I'd be surprised if it wasn't, but you never know.
