> 1) Windows Group Policy is used to manage a computer
This is solving the problem only where it least matters. If you're using Group Policy then you can configure DNS using Group Policy anyway, so any default there is already easy to override. Where the default really matters is on the devices where the only central management is DHCP, because those are the devices that require manual interaction to fix an application that defaults to ignoring the DHCP configuration.

That could work, but what happens when the ISPs start blocking the canary domain? The FAQ says they'll monitor it but that doesn't tell you how they'll address it when it happens.
- yellowapple 7y ago> but what happens when the ISPs start blocking the canary domain? Put your own DNS server in front of it that resolves the canary domain, I guess. The absurdity of rolling a DNS server solely to unblock a domain blocked by an upstream DNS server specifically so that an application can resolve that domain and consequently not actually use your DNS server is not lost on me.
- zrm 7y agoTechnically correct -- the best kind of correct. Though obviously if you've got your own DNS server in front of the ISP's then you could just configure that to resolve names however you like. Which would then typically cause it to accurately resolve the canary domain by default and thereby cause the application to not use it. Hmm.
