Previously I've used Unbound as a DNS resolver, but whenever I checked on dnsleaktest.com I got results for Google DNS only. Then moving to systemd-resolved fixed that issue. Now I'm using pdnsd, and that issue has showed up again.

I've blocked Google DNS server from /etc/hosts, added them to reject list in pdnsd.conf also blocked them from my router then how come they are still accessible?

  • @muru by adding the entries with localhosts?

  • What entries would you add to do that?

You could make a manual route like:

8.0.0.0/8 accessible via 192.168.0.254 (Or some other IP that is not a router)

That would mean, that your device would try to get to 8.8.8.8 via 192.168.0.254, but this device either is non-existent or is not a router, so you cant get to 8.8.8.8 this way.

On Linux you might achieve it with this command. Replace eth0 with proper device name, check with "ip a" command.

ip route add 8.0.0.0/8 via 192.168.0.254 dev eth0

I have no idea if this will make anything important inaccessible. Some examples for ip route command: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-configuring-default-route-with-ipcommand/

    Blocking a /8 does not seem a particularly good idea.

  • Can there be a route to 1 address? like 8.8.8.8
