MWB blocking static DNS

[Briareos]

I have my DNS manually set to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Sometime in the last three weeks, MWB decided it suddenly wasn't going to let it work anymore. If I set my DNS to automatically get a server from the router (192.168.2.1), I could browse just fine. As soon as I set it back to Google, I wouldn't be able to look up any IPs again. I could ping 8.8.8.8 all day long with no problem, but browsing in Chrome was impossible. I tried other public DNS servers all with the same result. On a hunch I set the Google DNS servers as exclusions in MWB and boom, I'm browsing like a champ again.

What up with that? MWB never even threw an exclusion popup, it apparently just randomly decided to silently block Google DNS.

We were having some DNS issues with the 1.0.75 component update, however they should be resolved in the 1.0.96 component update. You can either wait for the update to install in the background, or download the new installer from the following thread:
