      I was wondering if anyone could help or confirm if they receive similar.

      It seems that I get many of these type of fake search results tailored to my search terms. See picture.

      I've seen this happening for a while now and finally did a quick few tests, and found that when Squid proxy is turned-off the results do not appear.

      I use cloudflare DNS servers, and route all DNS traffic through my pfsense.

      Does this happen to anyone else??

        @petrt3522 The only thing I can suggest is to use pfSense and openDNS to resolve all your DNS request.

        pfSense+ 23.09 Lenovo Thinkcentre M93P SFF Quadcore i7 dual Raid-ZFS 128GB-SSD 32GB-RAM PCI-Intel i350-t4 NIC, -Intel QAT 8950.
        pfSense+ 23.09 VM-Proxmox, Dell Precision Xeon-W2155 Nvme 500GB-ZFS 128GB-RAM PCIe-Intel i350-t4, Intel QAT-8950, P-cloud.
