Needing help on fixing an DNS Leak

[Jcwisgod]

Hi, I've tried several different ways to keep my DNS from leaking, I've read several different sites on how to fix DNS leaks and nothing seems to work. Anyone know how fix this problem?

use google dns servers.

I'm using google dns servers, I wish I could refind the link to something I read earlier about something to do with dns's still leaking your real IP even if you changed from your ISP one.

Well, is your IP Dymanic? and what vpn service did you use? AFAIK that problem is due to dynamic IP, I was having the same problem, then after I changed my dns i use these commands on cmd

"ipconfig/flushdns" then reboot your PC, see if that can help (Windows 8)

Hope this can resolve your problem

You talking about internal IP or external? My internal IP is dhcp (dynamic), and external is static. I just flushed dns again, gonna see if it works or not I've tried it a couple times, I think i'm going to have to make my internal IP static if I'm correct

It's a freeware software & a great dns switcher tool-
ChrisPC DNS Switch
Also u can use DNS crypt with open DNS to make it more secure -
DNSCrypt | OpenDNS

I just switched my DNS to Comodos to test if it still leaks, I've read before that DNS crypt takes up alot of resources, not sure if it's true or not still.


Still appears to be leaking, it should be using the VPN's DNS server,

I never used DNS crypt so can't say & which website u testing? Go & test here -
GRC | DNS Nameserver Spoofability Test

Just found a good site for DNS leak test. I just tried a vpn with open dns & i passed the dns leak test
IP/DNS Detect

Hi I've ran leak tests on https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ and https://www.grc.com/dns/dns.htm, still leaking.

It isn't showing my ISP dns server, it's showing the 3rd party one that I changed to instead of the VPN one

I may end up corrected here, but if my memory serves me well, and it is indeed showing your 3rd party DNS, but not your VPN, then it is your VPN's responsibility to patch this problem, not on your end. I remember Cyberghost having a leak issue, and patching it upon the next release.

Install Hola extension to your browser and then change your location, your DNS will not leak.
You will need to refresh the page before testing.
I just confirmed it https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ it did not find my true DNS.

Enjoy!!

According to my experience that issues usually due to dynamic IP, unless your ISP using transparent dns of course, but since you already resolved it, I think the problem is related to your Vpn service like Illumination said

I believe that's right, I got 2 VPN's on my computer, both leak my 3rd party DNS, I probably got something configured wrong somewhere
