[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 821324, member: 61892"] DNS Cache makes computer deceptible to DNS poisoning, not to mention potential vulnerabilities. [URL unfurl="true"]https://threatpost.com/microsoft-patches-critical-windows-dns-client-vulnerabilities/128344/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_spoofing[/URL] DNS Cache is like pagefile, it was meant to help with limited hardware/network capabilities, but it is no longer an issue. My game makes 20 DNS requests per seconds and it does not complain about DNS Cache being disabled. Though some DNS providers might have a problem with that. [USER=79150]@JeanCraie[/USER] By default, svchost.exe makes DNS requests. That is also a security risk, because every software is allowed to make them, even if you block it within a firewall, malware could get renew IP from the domain. When DNS Cache is disabled, each software makes its own DNS requests. [/QUOTE]
