A lot of things are possible, but are they done? I am yet to hear of any examples of hardcoded DNS servers. I believe this to be too fragile to implement.

- random1temp2 4y agoLeague of Legends hardcodes 8.8.8.8.
- randomhodler84 4y agoThank you for the example, probably 53/udp, which one can set up a NAT rule to direct all outgoing 53 to the local filtering DNS resolver.
- autoexec 4y agoThey don't even have to be hardcoded, they just have to ignore anything you specify or not give you any option to specify your own. As long as a device manufacturer can push updates to your device (even by IP address) they can regularly update their chosen DNS servers when needed. Honestly though, for many devices I doubt they'd even bother. Companies seem to have little trouble taking the position that if your device is more than a few years old you're insane for expecting them to still support it and you should have already thrown it away and bought another one.
