https://manurevah.com/blah/en/blog/DNS-Hijacking-via-Barefruit-Talktalk-and-Others <https://manurevah.com/blah/en/blog/DNS-Hijacking-via-Barefruit-Talktalk-and-Others> The BT resolver has for some reason decided that it cannot actually resolve hosting.cloudnext.net <http://hosting.cloudnext.net/>, so instead of letting the browser do its job, BT hijacks the DNS lookup to deliver advertisements. If I happened to be the owner of a trademark, I would certainly consider its use in association with unrelated adverts to be trademark infringement. Alas, I’m not, and I’m not a lawyer either. I just detest that kind of behaviour. /Benny
