New comment by jer0me in "Choosing a Public DNS Resolver"

jer0me — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 07:08:28 +0000

On macOS, you might be able to use /etc/resolver to fix this:

  sudo sh -c 'echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" > /etc/resolver/captive.apple.com'

I did this for an internal website at my university that could only be resolved using the network name server. It just occurred to me that it might also work for the URL macOS uses to detect captive portals. We'll have to see if it works the next time I'm at a café.

That sounds like “circa 2010” to me. And Canvas was launched in 2011, according to the article you linked.
