Outgoing request intercepted message draws inaccurate conclusion #79

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to run test behind a Netgear WNR2000 with Firmware V1.2.0.8

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output: DNS test results

Instead I get the following message from namebench: "Your internet service
provider appears to be intercepting all outgoing UDP packets. Please
contact them to get this fixed."
When I test without the WNR2000 this message does not come up.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.0.5 on OS X 10.6 and Windows XP.

Please provide any additional information below.
Namebench runs as expected after upgrading the WNR2000 firmware to version
1.2.3.7.

Placing the blame for intercepting DNS requests unambiguously on the user's
ISP seems a bit disingenuous.

D-link DI-524 Firmware Version: 1.03 gives same message.

The wording now reads like this as of r551 (available in namebench 1.1b1):

'Your router or Internet Service Provider appears to be intercepting and 
redirecting all 
outgoing DNS requests. This means you cannot benchmark or utilize alternate DNS 
servers. Please adjust your router configuration or file a support request with 
your ISP.'

Thanks for the heads up!

I think this might be a Service Provider issue, like Comcast modems/routers. 
I'm getting the same issue. The only thing I can thing of is that it's getting 
this message is because it's a rented Modem/Router.
