It was originally SBC DSL (resold Yahoo!, resold etc...). The Chrome-induced resolution failures weren't the only issue - their primary DNS server never worked, always went to the failover.
Things didn't improve under AT&T.
- joelhaasnoot 15y agoTime for 8.8.8.8?
- moreorless 15y agoI would rather go with 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 from http://opendns.com http://opendns.com
- Dylan16807 15y agoBut opendns is one of the servers that gives you bogus results instead of NXDOMAIN.
- RexRollman 15y agoReally?? That's disappointing to hear.
- getsat 15y agoIt's their primary monetisation vector from what I can see.
- sp332 15y agoBy default, the free service that anyone can use, they redirect nonexistent domains to a search page they control. If you pay (and register your IP address), you can turn that off. But the main reason for paying is to control which domains are blocked. You can choose categories, and/or maintain your own white or black list. http://www.opendns.com/web-filtering/ http://www.opendns.com/web-filtering/ and http://www.opendns.com/internet-security/ http://www.opendns.com/internet-security/
- joelhaasnoot 15y agoYou can also filter without paying, including black or whitelisting domains. Works effectively to curb reddit addictions.
- sobbybutter 15y agoI put in a vote for the easyDNS public DNS service (205.210.42.205 and 64.68.200.20). No NXDOMAIN monkeying or anything of that nature.
