Unnamed section

[edit]

The program is released under GPL (see License http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html). Does it need to be more explicit? Also, the doc.html file is included in the distribution for debian (of which the author maintains).

OK?

Article rework

[edit]

Hey 85.76.130.41! Just wanted to say that you did a really good job rewriting the article. Thank you for rescuing it! — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 01:19, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Features section

[edit]

Looks like this could benefit from an edit: 'Some Internet service-providers rewrite the NXDOMAIN (domain does not exist) responses from DNS servers. This forces web browsers to a search page whenever a user attempts to browse to a domain that does not exist. Dnsmasq can filter out these "bogus" NXDOMAIN records, preventing this potentially unwanted behavior. and u r information is wrong' That last sentence ('and u r information is wrong') doesn't make any sense to me, I don't know why it's there or what it's trying to say. I suggest it be deleted, unless it can be corrected. JungleMartin (talk) 12:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done That vandalism has been already reverted. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 08:03, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Considered easy to configure?

[edit]

I agree with that tag "[by whom]" since this program hasn't a GUI to configure (except for Luci, which remains tricky to configure). It is not easy to use besides to ultimately configure it you must edit a file or via terminal. Even for a middle-user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DiegoJp (talkcontribs) 14:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the config file is just 25 KByte , 500 lines and only 150 options. much more easy than gcc which has thousands of options to memorize. so one might classify it as "Super easy". --217.226.249.177 (talk) 15:34, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of name

[edit]

I just added a parenthetical explanation connecting the name "dnsmasq" to "DNS masquerade", though I could not find an authoritative source for the origin of the name. If anyone can think of a reference, please share. Intellec7 (talk) 20:30, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
