DNS hijacking[edit]

All other popular DNS providers practice a form of DNS hijacking while processing queries, causing web browsers to redirect to an advertisement site run by the provider when a nonexistant domain name is entered.

A couple of questions / remarks:

Every single other DNS provider? Really?
What constitutes a popular DNS provider? Are ISPs considered DNS providers?
There are other popular, free DNS services that don't hijack, e.g. dns.as250.net
The DNS hijacking can often be disabled (e.g. OpenDNS)

kickass.to[edit]

Why is Google censoring the domain kickass.to? This should be on Wikipedia. 85.247.151.69 (talk)

This isn't censorship. Google Plublic DNS have some problems from time to time. Current the service have a lot of problems with the Top-Level-Domain .fm (e.g. dancetime.fm). Try it a few hours later until Google will refresh the cache or use the DNS from your provider. --95.114.79.198 (talk) 02:53, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have just modified one external link on Google Public DNS. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
