Intercept DNS Port

Post by uncle john »

Eric: I've tested the custom DNS feature and noticed it only works when DNS clients are set to Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically. If I test using http://www.opendns.com/welcome/oops/ and set my PC to use specific DNS servers the settings in Gargoyle are ignored. DD-WRT uses iptables to address this problem: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Op ... t_DNS_Port. Would it be feasible to do something similar for Gargoyle?

This should be pretty easy. I can probably make a checkbox for "prevent connection to alternate DNS servers" that does this. However, I'm really backed up right now, so no guarantees when I'll get to this.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. At least I know I'm on the right track. :)
