[Dnsmasq-discuss] Slow resolving

[Simon Kelley]

[snip]>> As a work around until I get that sorted, what should I set in
the mean

time so that dnsmasq does not to forward any DNS queries? I would like
dnsmasq to just respond when the address=// host names or local=// names
are relevant.

Just don't set up any upstream servers and tell dnsmasq not to get any
from /etc/resolv.conf with
no-resolv

Thanks. By the way does dnsmasq have a Stripe, Patreon, or similar
account? Nearly any non-Paypal thing would be nice.

There's only a Paypal donation thing, sorry. What's the advantage of the
others?


Cheers,

Simon.

tldr; not paypal

The others are easier to use, have better service, and are (probably)
lower risk.

Paypal has worked hard since its early days to earn and maintain a
reputation for being a poor and unreliable service where one is likely
to lose money, not just through their high fees but also through account
holds or even just plain removal of funds. People I know around here
have had problems with their accounts, and that help put me off, but
similar anecdotes abound at any forum where there have been many who
have used Paypal[1]. There's been enough for so long that it's just too
high a risk.

dragging things out:
