About a year ago my local ISP terminated dial-up service and was not marketing wideband to home users. I decided against any type of fixed point of service (i.e. telco, cable, or satellite). I looked for a "cell network modem" (proper term?). The closest thing I could find from a provider with a physically local presence was the Z915. Having only 1 machine I have no use for its WiFi capability. For connecting to the internet the hardware aspects are fine. My OS is Debian Stretch.
My problem occurs when you mistype a URL. Instead of being given a simple error message and leaving the URL visible for editing it transfers you the most inane page of suggested places to go. Initially I was looking for a way to block the inane site. Someone on a T-mobile oriented USENET list provided me with a list of numeric IPs for that site, but being a Windows only user could not suggest "howto". I couldn't find any Linux related info that did not assume presume a server was being discussed, not a single machine home user. A alternate suggestion was using a public DNS. I don't think the Linux suggestions I found would work in my case. Apparently my /etc/resolv.conf contains only the IP of the Z915 itself. Am I even looking in the right place(s)?
