I am convinced I am being attacked at times with DNS server poisoning exploits.
Most often when I am logged into Twitter. Yes, I use it. Mostly for news sources that don’t touch MSM.
Part of the time, simply restarting my connection will fix it for a while. Other times I have to reset my DSL modem and router. I have contacted my ISP and when they reset the connection it will stop for a few minutes.
Both Google and Twitter have been attempting to reduce this. They came up with a method which resets the connection address each time it is disconnected. That helps. Another thing that helps is using secure shell connection. (https:)
I have also started using several secure shell search engines. (duckduckgo.com Ixquick.com startpage.com) That helps, the login is not easily viewed on the web.
I recommend using multiple search engines. Find that at times it makes a difference switching between the 3 that I routinely use.
I find when I cannot go to an address that was being blocked, I can log into a secure shell search engine and access the address from there and it almost always works.
Not sure how many people are having this problem, but it is clear to me that I suffer from it.
Paranoid? Nope. But I do not know where the issue is coming from. Offshore? DHS? FBI? NSA? In today’s world, who knows.
I know it sounds crazy, but it is happening. It has been for over a year for me.
There's a DNS that is completely immune to this: Ironsides.
These two papers describe how they did it.
