What is a DNS Leak?

A DNS leak occurs when your DNS queries are sent to servers outside your VPN or secure DNS configuration. This can happen even when you're connected to a VPN, exposing which websites you visit to your ISP or network operator.

With DNS Leak

Your ISP can see every website you visit, even with a VPN. Your browsing history is exposed.

Without DNS Leak

All DNS queries go through your VPN or secure DNS. Your ISP cannot see which sites you visit.

How to Prevent DNS Leaks

Use DNS over HTTPS (DoH)

Enable DoH in your browser or system settings. This encrypts DNS queries and sends them over HTTPS, preventing leaks.

Configure VPN DNS Settings

Ensure your VPN is set to use its own DNS servers. Most VPN apps have a "DNS leak protection" setting.

Use a Trusted DNS Provider

Switch to a privacy-focused DNS like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Quad9, or Mullvad DNS. These don't log your queries.

Disable WebRTC (if using VPN)

WebRTC can leak your real IP. Use a browser extension to disable it or use a VPN with WebRTC leak protection.
