Re: how to opt out of Verizon's DNS not found page

Are you trying to say it's against TOS to do this? Because Verizon has instructions on their website how to do this. It's just that their instructions are wrong.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing, services like opendns are the same bs where they decide if you mistype something if you get their search page or not. They also decide if the url you typed in is "malware" or not and redirect you as well. The answer about verizons TOS being the answer is just a sa answer to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place I read through it and it doesn't state they will use dns to redirect users to search pages if you typo a url. In fact the closest it comes to the subject is the section on users not spoofing urls which is exactly what they are doing. I'm curious if you found the actual answer to the question or if you can point to the original answer you found that didn't work. I think whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired on the spot this is the type of behavior I expect from low life spammers but not my network provider.

No. I am saying the answer to your original question of how to opt out can be found in the TOS. Specifically section 15.6 or you could just search the TOS for URL.

Read the TOS again. But this time do not skip section 15.6. I know by the time you get that far your eyes have long since glazed over. But it is there. Along with how to opt out.
