Bill, who says he’s worked at Time Warner for 8 years, also claims not to know that this “service” exists on his company’s network. I told Bill to take Kerwin out to the woodshed for a spanking, and explained the situation again. Let me speak with your supervisor.Īfter some backpedaling, during which I learned that Kerwin didn’t even know what DNS hijacking is, never mind that Road Runner does it, I connected with Bill at level two support. Kerwin: Where are you being redirected to? It sounds like your computer is infected with a virus, so… Me: Your Web Address Error Redirect Service is creating a problem and I’d like to see if we can resolve it. Things got off to a really bad start with the first support agent, Kerwin, though. So I called Time Warner to ask them if they will implement the setting correctly. This fails to address the various problems detailed on Wikipedia’s DNS Hijacking page. Instead it means dropping a cookie into whichever browser I happen to be using at the time. It turns out that to “disable” the “service” doesn’t mean ending the hijacking for my local network. But OK, it’s a setting, I can disable it once, and then forget about it, right? And triggering on a redirect instead of an outright failed lookup is just plain weird.

Doing it in a way that involves “relevant sponsored links” is even worse. I don’t want Time Warner Cable hijacking DNS lookups at all. When I went to the Preferences page to end this interference I found not one but three “services”:Īs others before me have discovered, the first of these - the “non-existing domain landing service,” aka DNS hijacking - is enabled by default. It even happens when your first destination redirects you to a second. So when the provider invokes this URL:Įvidently you don’t need to fail a DNS lookup outright to trigger the hijacking. This wouldn’t happen normally, but it turns out that I never updated the DoubleSearch provider when was redirected to. When I use it on a Road Runner connection, the Google search works normally but the Bing search gets hijacked. I looked into it and found that my DoubleSearch search provider, which queries Google and Bing side-by-side, reveals an odd Road Runner quirk. You might wonder why search would trigger this hijacking. At any point in time, you can opt back in to the service by visiting your Preferences page. If this service is not right for you, please visit your Preferences page to opt out. Clicking any of these suggestions provides you with search results, which may include relevant sponsored links. You entered an unknown web address that was used to present site suggestions that you may find useful. The landing page poses the question “Why am I here?” and answers thusly: So for example, if the search term was “Jon Udell”, I’d land here. My searches kept getting redirected to dnssearch.rr.com. The Time Warner kit showed up, I plugged everything in, my new digital phone and Internet services worked right out of the box. I switched over recently when it became clear that Fairpoint cannot or will not maintain its infrastructure. Thanks.Things got off to a good start with Time Warner Cable’s Road Runner service. If there is any questions or requests, please send me an email. Maybe add auto forwarding and more dns servers later. I'd like to make it as simple/handy as possible. To stop it, just uncheck "Enable forwarder". By default Google dns server 8.8.8.8 is configured.ĭNS forwarder will start a service to serve DNS queries (UDP). Also you can set up customized dns server. It works on rooted phones running Android 2.2 and above.ġ) choose a DNS server from list. It does not modify system setting, just bypasses local dns server settings by forwarding dns queries to other configured server. On Kitkat (Android 4.4), changing dns server settings is not allowed by system. "Change" DNS server on most of popular phones with Android versions (2.2+), including Kitkat, by one click.
