I do use Cloudflare’s DNS but I’ll admit I don’t know much/anything about how it really works... can you explain why the DNS server would matter here?
Somewhat related, I have made a deal with the devil and use Comcast and, until yesterday, I was using their combo modem/router. Comcast doesn’t let you change the router’s DNS settings (which are, of course, set to Comcast servers) but I was under the impression that the DNS settings closest to the client always prevailed. But fiddling around with WireShark yesterday I could clearly see my DNS requests going to 75.75.75.75 (Comcast) even though my laptop was set to use CloudFlare. Is that even possible? Could the router have been set by Comcast to somehow override my settings or to intercept & reroute DNS requests?
