WiFi Scan HNS-DNS-Hijack
« on: October 14, 2019, 08:31:20 PM »
When Avast scans my WiFi network and tells me my MacBook Air is vulnerable due to HNS-DNS-Hijack. This only occurs when I have my VPN active (NordVPN). When I disable the VPN and scan again, it doesn't register any issues.

Anyone know if this is a common occurrence/byproduct of using a VPN?
