I created ubuntu 22.04 router for my home network with dnsmasq and everytime i do a google search and landed on a website that is sponsored by google, it will result ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS. I'm not sure what's wrong with my config for dnsmasq, but this is the following configs:

/etc/dnsmasq.conf:

For the purpose of troubleshooting does the problem still occur if you disable dnssec and strict-order?

@thomasrutter hi, thx for the response. yes it's still occuring, any other idea?

I can't test this out right now, but it appears that if you are going to use the `172.16.0.x` IP range you can't use it as a `/24` network but it would have to be a `/12`. You might want to pick a different IP address range if you want to use different subnets like that. See: https://www.arin.net/reference/research/statistics/address_filters/

I don't have other ideas sorry, it's strange to me that dns would cause that, good luck

wow... that 172 ip address is peculiar, i will try to configure to 192 later and tell you if it solves

While it is supposed to be allowed to use the `172.16.x.x` IP address range as a private IP, I do tend to stay away from that one to avoid possible sites blocking me. But, after I sent you that message I realized that changing the IP address wouldn't change anything as the issue is probably lying in the DNS. There are so many things to try for that error.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
