@cox.net | Avoid DNS redirection all together... If you can use them, use the following public DNS servers:
4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.3 4.2.2.4 4.2.2.5 4.2.2.6
Or, if you are inclined to, try OpenDNS. | |

| Re: Avoid DNS redirection all together... So these are public servers, or servers for customer user?
OpenDNS adds a few ms response time.
We should be able to use the ISP's DNS server. Not some servers that we are not technically supposed to use (4.2.*) or sign up for stuff like opendns.

I still use my ISP's DNS servers as its 8ms to them or 60ms to opendns or 4.2.2.x and i see no difference between them and my ISP DNS servers. | |

| Re: Avoid DNS redirection all together... said by dvd536 :opendns also has redirects! Those can be turned off on their end through their website. I'd recommend them only if you don't want to use the Level3 DNS servers (why I said, "if you are inclined to"). | |

join:2002-04-22 Chicago, IL | I think 4.2.2.* is technically Verizon's DNS (although IP lookup says it's Level3)
...anyway, they are wide-open, and several other ISPs don't seem to think twice about telling their customers to use them when their own DNS is messed up. | |

| Re: Avoid DNS redirection all together... said by deleteme :I think 4.2.2.* is technically Verizon's DNS (although IP lookup says it's Level3) Yes, they belong to Level3, but they are run as a public service to the internet since they are so easy to remember. They are anycasted, so when you use an 4.2.2.x address, you will be routed to the nearest server. | |

| some other good DNS servers you can use Here are a few more DNS servers that I believe to be good and clean DNS servers. Note these latency wise are favorable to users in California, but I think anyone can use them. Other clean DNS servers welcome. SpeakEasy Los Angeles DNS: 64.81.45.2 University of California Riverside DNS1: 138.23.146.213 University of California Riverside DNS2: 138.23.226.101 Also, I'm not totally sure but I believe at present anyway Cox San Diego has clean DNS at 68.6.16.30 and 68.6.16.25. Hope that helps. | |

| Re: Thanks! said by gatorkram :Thanks for some site wide attention to our plight over at the Embarq forum. I for one hope they put up some clean servers soon. Even one clean server would go a long way in helping silence those of us who object to the whole dns redirection. Well, it does appear the opt out feature is working correctly. | |

| Re: Thanks! said by JeepMatt :Can someone tell me why this is an issue to anyone??? Sure. If I run a services that at times requires a server side DNS lookup based on a client request, and it answers positive for a failed query, surely, you can see how this could break the functionality of some of the services I run.
However, the issue has been fixed by embarq. | |

1 edit | Ad Blocking DNS Servers While the public 4.2.2.x are good, I like use my own personal ad/malware blocking DNS servers.
Feel free to use them, they are open to the public:
74.95.62.68 71.249.184.157 207.59.120.156
If you come across an ad that isn't blocked, let me know and I'll ad it in.
(Of course you'll see an ad from me, but at least it's always the same) -- »www.pacyworld.com | |
