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.
