Re: Does DNS make any difference ?
I wouldn't see why they would? Custom DNS settings are not uncommon. However, they are known to test the DNS port to see if your native IP is different than the one you're projecting via the HTTP port to detect proxy usage. But, I don't see what that'd have to do with using a different DNS as your packets aren't actually going through the DNS, just the initial DNS request to resolve the domain's IP adadress. Paypal doesn't see this initial DNS request, as far I'm aware, as that request is between you and the DNS.
"Hey, where's paypal.com?" you ask the DNS.
DNS responds, "it's xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".
Paypal never hears the conversation.
