In response to "Google announces public DNS -- (link)" by oblique

Is this a shot across the bow of Anti-net neutrality folks?

Posted by TWuG Dec 3 '09, 10:02

If you are on a service provider that filters content, would using the Google DNS prevent that?

Responses:

no, I think it's a shot across the bow of DNS providers who take "failed" lookups and redirect traffic to their own advertising servers -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 10:02 4
- If they add services like OpenDNS provides, I'd probably switch -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 10:04
- Like Comcast? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 10:02 2
  - Comcast goes as far as hijacking root server lookups, I ran my own DNS and they still poisoned it -- nm - scorpion Dec 3, 10:09
  - (man, Google's just got a huge back of "F*CK YOU" to serve up, doesn't it?) -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 10:03
