- blueskin_ 13y agoNot if the DNS server I query is sitting in the same room. Yes, Steam spying is a problem, so don't get angry with someone suggesting a workaround.
- philtar 13y agoSo your solution is terrible for everyone except for people who have their own DNS server.
- jlawer 13y agoMost home Routers run their own DNS server. I came across this a lot back working as a mac support engineer. It used to be a common issue with older routers that too many DNS requests would kill the inbuilt DNS server, effectively preventing people from using their internet connection. This was typically isolated to someone running a torrent, with their torrent client doing reverse lookups to the hundreds of connections that occurred. This crashed the router's DNS service forcing a reboot. Workaround was to set the DHCP server on the router to give out the ISPs (or google's) DNS servers.
