That's not what "never touch a running system" is meant for. It creates a lot more problems (as you experienced yourself) to dabble with DNS on an application-level

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nope. First of all I only had one problem and only with Firefox. Second the phrase is also usable in this case. If I change my dns settings in my system (or my router), there is a chance that ALL applications have a problem with resolving URLs. Making most changes only on application layer did save me alot of time which others had to use for troubleshooting.

I mean you do you of course, but to me that's not logical at all, it's literally just one line of numbers that you would have to troubleshoot (if at all) and the entire system would be fixed instead of doing that for each application separately
