If you're using a Comcast router they don't even let you change your DNS on the router and any client DNS settings will be completely ignored.

It's kind of insane that they get away with charging customers $10-15/month for the privilege of a router without any privileges.



"any client DNS settings will be completely ignored" - how are they accomplishing this? I wouldn't think this would be possible...


They perform a MITM attack on your DNS packets, since DNS protocol is unsecured.

It is another reason they're flagrantly against encrypting DNS and attempting to get laws passed against it.
