Retarded ISPs versus dnsmasq

Name: Anonymous 2011-05-30 13:52

After upgrading my router's firmware to DD-WRT I noticed I was now using the default DNS servers provided by my ISP (UPC). Apparently the friendly people at UPC decided to make their NXDOMAIN hijacking scheme an opt-out service. (Thanks for breaking the Internet for a couple of bucks of ad money~)

Luckily dnsmasq provides me with a way to work around this. Simply tell it to ignore resolv.conf, specify your DNS servers, and presto-chango: you're using Google's public DNS. This is all it takes:

no-resolv
no-poll
strict-order
server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4

That should be enough until my contract ends and I can switch to XS4ALL.

At least it was a happier story than Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
