HAVP – DNS error

Quite frequently while browsing, I get:

A DNS error occurred

Usually (but not always) it seems to happen during times of heavier usage, and usually (but not always) it goes away if I refresh. I’m using the proxy for the blacklist feature. DNS is set to use Google’s (8.8.8.8 & 4.4.4.4). Any suggestions?

Anybody?

This is not the 1st time when I hear about issues with using Google DNS.
You may want to try to replace your servers with OpenDNS and see if the problem goes away.

Same behavior in my case. I am using OpenDNS.

LAN—>local_bind9_DNS_Cache(OpenDNS)—>Zeroshell—>ADSL_Router—>INTERNET

The only factor I have noticed is that it happens usually during heavy usage (high loads) but I still haven’t figure out the exact reason.

I do not use ZS for DNS for now, requests are forwarded to a local bind9 server which in turn requests from OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220). But still I have the same error randomly.

A year later, still the same problem but worse, nobody has any ideas?

I wouldn’t use the proxy at all but I need to block high bandwidth sites, but it’s getting maddening.

Hello

Seems you are using wrong DNS servers.

Google DNS servers are: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Also try some other DNS servers, for example your ISP ones.

8.8.4.4, yes, my mistake.

With my ISP’s servers it was worse.

When I get the chance I’m going to try Dansguardian for content filtering so I can turn the HAVP proxy off.
