RS700 DNS issues
Hi, I’ve noticed what appears to be DNS leakage in the latest two versions (1.0.11.8 & 1.0.11.6) I use custom DNS for adblocking and with both versions I’ve seen what would normally be blocke...
Suspect that after a while the RS700 is using the ISP WAN supplied DNS as well as the custom DNS as the blocking / unblock is random.
Did you confirm this? One way is to use the DNS test at BrowserLeaks.com.
coolwifi is seeing that CloudFlare is being added as a DNS server with the RS500, FURRYe38 is seeing that the "automatic" setting is using Google+CloudFlare, and ignoring the ISP DNS server.
So something odd here, that might also apply to the RS700.
I’ve got the old working version on at the moment but my ISP (Zzoomm) use Cloudflare and Google as DNS, I use NextDNS.
One.one.one.one appears in my logs with versions 1.0.11.8 & 1.0.11.6 installed but doesn’t with the older.
I was also seeing that on an Adblock test that on the old version I get 98% blocked but on the newer versions it was impossible to get everything blocked that would normally be blocked.
I’m pretty confident the 1.0.11.6 version has introduced the bug.
