Going from what I read of their site, that means that they've figured out the DNS servers you're getting answers from are the ones listed above, not the ones that you're hoping to use. Therefore, your ISP is acting as a transparent proxy, intercepting all your DNS requests and answering them, themselves, no matter what you do. In my case, it comes back with my public IP address. Which, kind of, makes sense. I run my own DNS servers, on my LAN, which is behind a router doing NAT. I'd like to know how they're doing their discovery. I can understand why ISPs might do proxying, though I don't think it's a brilliant idea (likewise with HTTP proxying). There's customers that badly configure their computers, so intercepting is a simplistic way to work around that. Some ISPs might try protecting their users from malicious content on the internet, though they could do that with their own servers without proxying, allowing you to make your own mind up to use their censored servers or your own choice of servers. And some ISPs are obligated to censor children's access, again they could do that other ways. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 17 02:43:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
