Because doing this prevents people from monitoring my dns lookups.
I use ssh with a socks4 proxy and local port forwards for most of my other traffic unless I want it to be unencrypted.

At the moment, my dns traffic is in the clear.

Sorta doesn't matter if they can't see my actual surfing if they can see the lookups.

Still seem silly?
