Even worse: unless you are tunneling your DNS traffic past your ISP somehow, even people who think they are using third party DNS likely aren't.

- 3xblah 7y agoA third party is supplying the answers but not necessarily the third party the user thinks she is using. Sometimes we can bypass this by using non-standard ports for DNS.
- Skunkleton 7y agoI had an ISP that intercepted my requests, and would return bogus (ads) results if the resolution for that particular address failed. Moving off of port 53 was enough to bypass it, but it was easier to just tunnel my DNS requests. The sad thing now is google thinks I need extra captchas because of my weird DNS geo-location. I can't win.
