Hello Avast Community,
I have been using Avast Premium Security antivirus, and I recently came across the Avast Secure DNS feature. While exploring its functionality, I noticed that the yesterday DNS server IP was displayed as
179.61.195.50 on my site during a check on ipleaks.net. Typically almost 99% cases in my checks, DNS server IPs are within the range of 5.62.40.XX. After WebShield new start it returned to 5.62.40.XX´range.
I wanted to confirm if the IP address
179.61.195.50 is indeed associated with Avast Secure DNS or if it indicates a different DNS server. Could someone from the Avast team Community please clarify this for me?
I found some confirmation on old forum post ->
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=232214.0and after xforce check
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/ip/179.61.195.50But still ipleaks.net is showing this server as Hivelocity Inc machine:
https://ipleak.net/?q=179.61.195.50therefore i want to be sure (dns hijacking)
