heres teh workaround...
If applying these patches is not currently feasible, Microsoft provided a workaround via a Windows registry modification: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters DWORD = TcpReceivePacketSize Value = 0xFF00 In order for these changes to take effect, the DNS Service must be restarted. Microsoft recommends removing the workaround after patches have been applied.
i guess im in the clear, since im NOT USING the windows DNS Service (its disabled here) 😛 DNSCryptProxy all the way baby... 🙂 still, i shall update my system tonight....
