Five Great VPN Services To Download For Free Today

Not sure why you would need the VPN to encrypt the DNS traffic. Your traffic from your client to the VPN server is already encrypted, and the DNS is typically provided by the VPN, so the request is anonymous at that point. It's not like the DNS requests are going to YOUR DNS provider and viewable by your ISP. So if you use a no logging VPN, the DNS requests are not linked to your real IP address or account.

Your ISP can only see that you are connected to a VPN (via an encrypted tunnel that ALL your packets travel through). Everything you do after that should be inaccessible to your ISP, including your DNS lookups (exception is a DNS leak somewhere). Everything that you do online while using a VPN, and any interactions beyond your VPN, even in the clear, will be done using the proxied IP address.

DNS and IPv6 Leaks

Throughout the course of using the internet, your computer sends and receives a lot of data that isn’t visible to you, the user. When you type in a web address, a request is sent to a server that is usually operated by your ISP. When you connect to the internet using a VPN, this responsibility is now on them. If they don’t take certain actions, this request containing info for the site your want to visit is being sent to THEIR ISP instead. This may not be as bad as it going through yours, but as I mentioned logging above – if the company in question even keeps certain logs, there is a chance that the sites you try to visit can be correlated with the timestamps of when such a request is sent. As an alternative, some use public DNS servers, such as google’s, which is not ideal for privacy. Choose a VPN service that maintains their own first party DNS server that won’t leak – then TEST IT TO MAKE SURE.

Based on this following description, a DNS leak is a FLAW in the operating system software. So be aware of what you are using, and TEST it. Use VPNs that build leak protection into their software.

What is a DNS Leak?
A DNS leak occurs anytime a DNS request is sent on your behalf to a DNS server other than the one you or your VPN provider intended.

This happens most often when your DNS requests are routed outside of the encrypted VPN tunnel (due to a security flaw in the way operating systems handle DNS requests). These unencrypted requests will then be forwarded to your ISP’s DNS servers, allowing them to monitor and log your complete web-browsing history, despite the fact that you’re using a VPN.

Fortunately, there are several ways VPN’s prevent DNS leaks including:

• Building DNS leak protection technology into their software
• Using private DNS servers (controlled by your VPN) instead of 3rd-party (OpenDNS, FreeDNS)

You can also specify your own preferred DNS servers on your PC or router as an added layer of protection in case your VPN’s DNS leak protection method fails.

HotSpot Shield is for sure no great free vpn. There software is just bad, leaks everywhere and they do logging. This is a joke. I did not read the thread, just seen hotspot shield there is enough.

ZenMate does require sign-up and it only offers 4 locations for the free accounts. Also, the sign up link is not easy to find. When you install the Chrome extension a page is loaded. You need to go to the very bottom of the page to find it (the text is light grey.
