Comcast intercepts and redirects port 53 traffic-> 1

An anonymous reader writes "An interesting (and profane) writeup of one frustrated user's discovery that Comcast is actually intercepting DNS requests bound for non-Comcast DNS servers and redirecting them to their own servers. I had obviously heard of the DNS hijacking for nonexistent domains, but I had no idea they'd actually prevent people from directly contacting their own DNS servers."

  • I'm trying my absolute best to be shocked and surprised. I can't do it. Comcast has been notorious for underhanded packet manipulation like this.

The groundhog is like most other prophets; it delivers its message and then disappears.
