What is a VPN?
The Virtual Private Network is a service that protects your privacy and sensitive data by creating an encrypted tunnel, which masks the user’s IP address. With it, you can use public Wi-Fi safely, and access restricted websites like Netflix or YouTube without being identified.

What is DNS?
DNS is the system that turns human-readable website addresses (like “www.google.com”) into machine-readable IP addresses (like “173.194.33.104”). It’s what makes the internet work!

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">What causes DNS Leaks?
Some people might think that their provider is the cause of DNS leakage, but it can be anything from your router to an invoice on its way out.
The most common culprits are browser vulnerabilities, which also occur when your computer has been infected with malware. You can get malware when you visit malicious websites that have access to information about what sites you’ve seen in recent months or years – referred to as Trackware because it helps hackers follow their victims around online.
You could also have incomplete or improper security measures in place, which would cause data from other sites on the internet—like banking website(s) –to leak out into another network. This data can be seen by strangers who happen upon them while browsing freely across various networks without protection against this kind of theft.

When you connect to a VPN, you should expect your web traffic to be routed through the VPN network. This includes the previously specified DNS requests. They should be routed directly to your VPN provider’s DNS servers via the encrypted tunnel.
- Use a Strong VPN like Dark Matter
- Delete DNS Caches
- Turn off Microsoft Teredo
- To use your VPN’s DNS servers, set your settings to Default
- Utilize a Secure DNS Service
- Navigate to the DNS leak test webpage…
- Check if the stated IP address and location match your actual ones.
- Select Standard or Extended Test to verify your DNS status.
Check the result against your VPN’s virtual IP address by typing “what is my IP” into Google once again (or using an IP lookup site). If they match, your VPN is effectively masking your actual IP address.
DNS leaks provide a significant privacy risk because networks may give a false sense of security while private data flows.
