[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 655422, member: 59283"] No. With a VPN you'll be using the VPN providers' own DNS servers (hopefully) and all your network traffic - including your DNS requests - will be encrypted. Assuming you don't keep a VPN connected 24/7 your best bet is to add HTTPS Everywhere to all your browsers and select a DNS provider that supports DNSCrypt and uses DNSSEC. This prevents snooping or manipulation of DNS data through encryption and authentication. I'd suggest using DNS provider with a no logging policy too. When using a VPN, DNSCrypt become irrelevant as you'll be using your VPN providers' DNS servers. HTTPS Everywhere is still relevant as it encrypts the traffic from the VPN to its destination.
