Talk:Google Public DNS

DNS hijacking

All other popular DNS providers practice a form of DNS hijacking while processing queries, causing web browsers to redirect to an advertisement site run by the provider when a nonexistant domain name is entered.

A couple of questions / remarks:

• Every single other DNS provider? Really?
• What constitutes a popular DNS provider? Are ISPs considered DNS providers?
• There are other popular, free DNS services that don't hijack, e.g. dns.as250.net
• The DNS hijacking can often be disabled (e.g. OpenDNS)

kickass.to

Why is Google censoring the domain kickass.to? This should be on Wikipedia. 85.247.151.69 (talk)

This isn't censorship. Google Plublic DNS have some problems from time to time. Current the service have a lot of problems with the Top-Level-Domain .fm (e.g. dancetime.fm). Try it a few hours later until Google will refresh the cache or use the DNS from your provider. --95.114.79.198 (talk) 02:53, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
