Problem: Pale Moon is able to resolve all valid addresses despite custom DNS settings that should prevent that. Pale Moon appears to be using a different nameserver under the covers. Despite the OS being unable to find valid addresses except those for whitelisted sites AND the proxy gateway ONLY knowing those whitelisted addresses, Pale Moon can still find other sites. I suspect that there's the IP address for a nameserver somewhere within the Pale Moon code. Google had done such a thing with Chrome, having it look to their quad-8 DNS for sites it can't resolve through normal means. I consider this egregious behavior on the part of Google. I would hope that the developers of Pale Moon haven't been following their lead, but in this instance, that seems to be the case.
So... if this is indeed the case, how do we turn off this unwanted, miserable behavior?
