After years of no trouble, my BT Broadband is allowing access to all sorts of naughty sites.
This is not great as I have a child.

Just wondered if anyone else has this trouble at the moment.

My Google Nest Wi-Fi system was not using the BT DNS.

As it is just a dumb mesh Wi-Fi system plugged in to the main router, I didn’t think it was possible for it to use anything other than what it was fed from the router.

Seems not.

Interesting, I like you, would have though it would use the router DNS. Hmmmm.....Google wanting their DNS used maybe?
