Abstract
Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to method for connecting a communication device to a data network via a network, e.g., a wireless communication network, and preventing the communication device from overriding a DNS selection by an operator of the network. The method includes receiving, from a communication device, e.g., an electronic device, a request to connect to a data network, e.g., the Internet, via a wireless communication network. A response message may be provided to the communication device, where the response message comprises (i) a configuration setting for the communication device to use domain name system (DNS) internet protocol (IP) addresses provided by an operator of the wireless communication network when accessing the data network and (ii) a data bit disabling the communication device from overriding the configuration setting. Connection of the communication device to the data network is then facilitated via the wireless communication network.
