So for some reason my machine is making tons of UDP requests on port 53 to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google dns).
Is there some way to find out what's causing this? We're trying to clean up traffic on our home network.

Figured this out a while ago but forgot to update this question.
Turns out it was just regular DNS requests. Our router doesn't display requests made through the default DNS server, and I was the only person on the network using Google DNS rather than the default. Changed back to default and the mysterious dns spam went away!

We could try to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot whether the issue is related to third party service.

To troubleshoot this issue deeply, we could use Network Monitor to have a troubleshoot. Here is the download link:

The simplest logical approach is to stop processes one by one until the issue disappears. – Julie Pelletier – 2016-05-06T05:26:54.517
