What are DNS leaks?
Airvpn Reddit
In this context, with 'DNS leak' we mean an unencrypted DNS query sent by your system OUTSIDE the established VPN tunnel.
Why does my system leak DNS queries?
In brief: Windows lacks the concept of global DNS. Each network interface can have its own DNS. Under various circumstances, the system process svchost.exe will send out DNS queries without respecting the routing table and the default gateway of the VPN tunnel, causing the leak.
Should I be worried for a DNS leak?
Is Airvpn Free
If you don't want that your ISP, and anybody with the ability to monitor your line, knows the names your system tries to resolve (so the web sites you visit etc.) you must prevent your system to leak DNS. If you feel that you're living in a human rights hostile country, or in any way the above mentioned knowledge may harm you, you should act immediately to stop DNS leaks.
How does torrent detection work?
