Tjhe IPv4 Properties on the NIC are set to "Use the following DNS Server Address" - which before the last Webroot update was always the IP Address of the PC to allow the DNS filering service to "proxy" the request - it seems the latest version now changed that DNS address to the 127.0.0.1 Loopback, and this is where the problems arised. The IP Address 127.0.0.1 is in every computer as the 'local loopback', that is how the computer talkes to itself basically. That obviously is not what the DNS should be though. Try your computer network options and make sure that the connection setting is NOT set for Manual Configuration. Its called loop back address, An address that sends outgoing signals back to the same computer for testing. In a TCP/IP network, the loopback IP address is 127.0.0.1, and pinging this address will always return a reply unless the firewall prevents prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; Check that the configuration has been applied properly (this may take several minutes): cat /etc/resolv.conf domain openstacklocal search openstacklocal nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 213.186.33.99 Jul 03, 2020 · Available Wildcarded DNS Domains. It turns out that some kind hearted people already set up wildcarded domains for you already. You can use any domain below and/or any subdomain of these and they will always resolve back to 127.0.0.1 (your local machine). I have read in guite a few docs and wikis that you must have 127.0.0.1 as the first DNS in the network settings. Is this still true? i also see 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

The XSS vector is something I'd never thought of, but it is something of concern: having a localhost entry in your public DNS means any hacked machine could be "in your domain" (by running a webserver on 127.0.0.1) and potentially do all sorts of nasty things. Probably a good enough reason to get rid of the entry.

Using dnsmasq as local resolver by default on desktop installations That’s the second big change of this release. On a desktop install, your DNS server is going to be "127.0.0.1" which points to a NetworkManager-managed dnsmasq server. SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) this means you are getting ans of your query from local dns i.e DNSMASQ. If your DHCP server hands out the DNS server address as the primary DNS server, then the client host should use that as a DNS server. The client can of course set up a local forwarding nameserver like dnsmasq that listens on address 127.0.1.1 , or whatever, but in this case the client alone is responsible that this setup works. The DNS server address on the client changes to something unexpected by the software or 3G/4G HotSpots, and they change the DNS setting back to the previous setting. The Umbrella roaming client then performs the same operation and changes any DNS servers back to 127.0.0.1.

Of course, if there is another server handling DNS on the network -- use that IP address instead!! But, I use and recommend 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual IP of the NIC when there's only one server and it's a DC of the forest. I've had my Server2003's going for almost 2 years now with no DNS issues using 127.0.0.1
