[Need Technical Help] A network analysis tell me i'm passing by a proxy who appear to be involved in bitcoin. Anyone can clarify?

First of all. Sorry if i'm using the wrong subreddit. The only result using google was a post here of some times ago talking about a malware.

If the mod think this is not appropriate for the subreddit, i just ask for direction to where to post.

Now, onwards with the situation.

It all starts with my wife complaining that she can't play any multiplayer game while my notebook was connected to the home network.

I've first run a full check with spybot and malwarebytes but nothing comes up.

So i've tried for a network analysis with The ICSI Netalyzr.

The results are freely accessible here.

I'm connected to internet using a simple D-Link Router using an ethernet cable. The router's model is DSL-2740R just for information. The router has a built-in modem to connect itself to internet.

The thing that catch my attention was the DNS Tests. The section about DNS external proxy who report this message:

Your host, NAT, or firewall acts as a DNS server or proxy. Requests sent to this server are eventually processed by 162.248.99.164. This is probably a bug in your NAT's firmware, and represents a minor security vulnerability.

Going for an IP Lookup i found that this IP is a static assignation to this hostname: 164-99-248-162-static.reverse.queryfoundry.net

Then i proceed to a thing that usually I hate seeing. Writing an url into google search. Looking for Google result from the hostname produce some concerning results as you can see here.

These are the title results (copy-paste) from the google link above:

IP address 162.248.99.164 - getaddr.bitnodes.io

The question: I'm not really into the Bitcoin world. I'm just an IT worker, specialized in developing commercial web application with some basic knowledge of the technology revolving around the PC universe. I cannot understand, due to my ignorance of this field, if this results (both the The ICSI Netalyzr and the following Google results) are something that should concern me. And if it is, how can fix it?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can helps.
