[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 840072, member: 301161"] No, that is not true in this case. The Linux receiver continues to uses its default resolving nameserver for all operations. The only time TUNLR is used is only when necessary and only by some of the modules of the OnDemand plugin. This is completely different than using TUNLR as a default resolving nameserver on a PC. But anyway in the end you have to trust some resolving nameserver at some level otherwise you could never use the internet. And as far as your comments about your bank website, even if the DNS had been subject to poisoning and you had been diverted to a fake site, the SSL certificate wouldn't correspond or be verified and the browser would show a notice to this effect. Anyway we seem to be getting way off topic here. [/QUOTE]
