DNS Leaks.. TF Is A DNS? Is It Important?
 

I have been using PureVPN with great results and Just when I thought I knew it all. IP Address, Public Address, Private Address, IPV4, and IPV6..... Turns out there's another address... The "DNS" Address and apparently mine is leaking? Courtesy of DNSleak.com and DNSleaktest.com

I read mix feelings about the topic of DNS leaks relating to stealth.

1. Nobody (eBay, Amazon, Paypal) worries about this as it's not enough to raise concern alone, You should be alright. Etc.

and

2. Not much objection, but people definitely offering solutions to prevent the leak and/or talking about what one should do if it happens, like using googles servers, etc.

As there are not many post on the forums regarding DNS leaks, I don't know how much of a concern this is or what to do, so I want to ask the big dogs first before doing anything. Am I good to go, Should I change it, Is changing it going to be a continuing problem for now on?

I thought a VPN was supposed to take care of all that for me, maybe there are settings I must configure first which I would love to do but I don't speak the "VPN Settings or DNS" language. Anybody wanna chime in?

Your accounts are working well at the moment, yes?

As of today, this hasn't been a concern that affected people's accounts yet.

But for VPN, I actually prefer IPburger, because it is very stable.
