** Description changed:
- Hello,
-
- I DO NOT USE UBUNTU, AS A LINUX GEEK FOR RESPECT OF MY FELLOW LINUX
- USERS I AM JUST REPORTING THIS TO YOU SINCE UBUNTU HAS CONNMAN, OR AT
- LEAST IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S AVAILABLE. SO I HOPE THIS REPORT HELPS
- YOU!
-
- GEEKS HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER! :)
-
- This pertains to connman 1.23 not sure this issue exists in older
- versions.
-
- Take a look at your log(s) when starting connmand to see this DNS route
- being added;
-
- ```
- May 26 13:31:02 foo connmand[1882]: eth0 {add} route 87.106.208.187 gw
192.168.1.1 scope 0 <UNIVERSE>
- May 26 13:31:02 foo connmand[1882]: eth0 {del} route 87.106.208.187 gw
192.168.1.1 scope 0 <UNIVERSE>
- ```
-
- I ran connman as;
-
- connmand --nodnsproxy
-
- Which then showed that DNS IP route being added to my network but then
- thankfully being removed, so if you don't use --nodnsproxy and don't
- realize this you're going to be routed some traffic over this DNS...
-
- Then do a whois/lookup on the IP;
-
- senator.holtmann.net
-
- Ok so here's the problem!
-
- 1. DNS is a security issue, and you do not sneek your DNS, or anyone's
- DNS into someone's box behind their backs like this, it's is WRONG! You
- do not MESS with someone's Network!
-
- 2. If ConnMan wants to offer DNS caching/proxy support or whatever, then
- it's up to the end-user to pick the DNS they want to use, not the
- developer like this!
-
- 3. Linux Mint a year back was pulling the same non-sense putting in
- OpenDNS servers into Linux Mint as a fallback, but in fact they were
- being queried and used, and I raised a stink on this and so did many
- end-users and they removed it!
-
- This is not how we do things in the Unix/Linux world and the Geeks who
- know better need to stand by this and make sure to force the hand of the
- ConnMan developer to stop this. And what I mean here is, does anyone
- know who or what this DNS is? I'm sure you don't, it is certainly not
- like Google DNS, or OpenDNS we are talking about here, so why would
- anyone trust using this?
-
- I encourage everyone reading this to contact the Free Software
- Foundation writing them an email letting them know what the developer(s)
- of ConnMan is doing! It is the right thing and the Geek thing to do! And
- yes I did email them already! This is what the FSF is there for!
-
- http://www.fsf.org/about/contact/email
-
- Sure we can say the --nodnsproxy was added to stop this, so no harm
- done, but a lot of distros in the future might come with connman
- installed by default that newbie end-users are using and have no clue
- here, so in that RESPECT of what this is really all about, it is being
- snuck in behind people's backs and it's still wrong.
-
- *** Read below slowly and carefully and hopefully you'll get the point
- here! ***
-
- Just because you have the --nodnsproxy option doesn't make it right the
- way in which this is being done. You create an option like this, then
- you do not turn it on by default with some no name DNS, and you let the
- end-user pick the DNS they want to use if they choose to use this and
- they choose to turn it on!
-
- So I hope everyone gets this, it's not something you turn on by default
- and certainly not with some no name DNS like this either!
+ I read incorrect information over this matter so please disregard this,
+ the report was done in error!
