Re: rogers inserting advertisements into my browser - WTF? Rogers can force you to use Rogers' and only Rogers' DNS servers, remember that.
Providers not letting you use the SMTP server of your workplace or hosting company are far too common. Why not do the same with DNS? |

| It's called firewalling (a) certain port(s). Or even being intrusive and peeping your traffic looking for a DNS query and blocking it by a variety of means. In this case they can claim to not infringe privacy since they (presumably) wouldn't be looking into the actual query proper. They could also block known open DNS servers.
I'm certain that other methods exist, but the above are the options that I could think of off the top of my head. |
