[QUOTE="AG3S, post: 986689, member: 89325"] I personally would recommend to be careful about using external DNS services. It is recommended that if you use a CPN service such as Mullvad (which in my opinion is one of the most transparent and private VPN services) you should not use an another DNS service as it will expose your ISP's DNS and IPs. And be aware that all the DNS service are earning money by selling the data of those who use their services. (more info in the following video). In general if you want a good privacy you should choose a good and transparent VPN provider such as Mullvad. Even Proton VPN has a negative point in their history by decrypting the email addresses of an activist and providing it with authorities and yet they claim END-to-END ECNRYPTION!!!!! I always say if it happens once ... it can happen again! As I said Mullvad IMO is the best possible choice at the moment as they are at least trying to be transparent by publishing the source of their apps, giving detailed information about their servers and not to pushing the market with crazy ads and pricing (such as NordVPN, SurfShark, Express VPN and such). I was talking to one of the developers of a really large VPN company and they were saying that 80% of their company is data-analysis department...!!! you judge! In the below video one of the main founders of QUAD9 which is a well-known DNS service provider is saying that all the free DNS providers are selling the data of their users (even none-anonymized) and they are doing too however, they anonymize those data first. All said... there is no free service! and lifetime VPN subscriptions are also the same story as it is impossible to maintain a large VPN service by charging 20 bux or even 50 bux! When I see such things Mullvad's pricing makes more and more sense to me! [MEDIA=youtube]pl615h44QQ8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
