ISP DNS Leak
 

Hi

So i am facing the following problem at the moment:

When i perform a DNS Leak Test on "whoer" and "proxyrack" they can still see my ISP DNS IP... However all other websites such as "ipleak" or "browserleak" don't show any leak, very strange.
I am using a VPS + OpenVPN on Debian 8 (IPV6 not configured on my server but i have disabled it under Windows)

The only thing i tried at the moment is the dnsfixsetup.exe from "dnsleaktest" or using another DNS (like Google) but it doesn't change anything. Funny thing is that when i try the Opera VPN or even NordVPN they can't see my ISP DNS IP anymore so it's coming from my OpenVPN config i guess ?

Obviously i don't want to use these solutions and keep my dedicated IP :)

If anyone has a solution it would be great,

Thanks in advance for any help provided

I find that getting a dedicated and fresh IP to use from IPburger is the simplest and easiest solution.

Specially for some one like me who likes to work fast and has to swap between multiple accounts.

Do you mean a virtual machine on your host?

A VPS has it's own DNS and it can't leak your DNS when you're remoting into it.

I have a VPS (OVH) with OpenVPN on it and when i connect to it i have DNS leaks from my ISP according to whoer.

what ever dns server is being used in on your server, which is most likely 8.8.8.8 (google), set that as your dns server on your windows machine.

Win10
settings/network & internet/Wifi [or] Ethernet/Change adapter options/right click your network adapter/properties/Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP IPv4)/when highlighted click properties. Then select "Use the following DNS server addresses"

(it's in the same options where you would have disabled IPv6 on your windows machine.)

use 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 or what ever matches your server. I use 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 unless my server is in another country. then i take different measures.

Im just a lil' surprised you were able to set up openvpn on Linux but unable to stop a DNS leak.

If you want to change the DNS on your VPS edit server addresses inAlso if for some reason that doesnt work you can add
to your openvpn client config

I sure wish there was a dislike 👎 option I could use bad advice and misinformation.

Worked, thanks, no more DNS leak :d

Re: ISP DNS Leak
 

I feel that is aimed at me.

Are you saying a VPS doesn't have it's own DNS?, and it's possible to have a DNS leak through a remote connection?

Re: ISP DNS Leak
 

No, not aimed at you & No Linux vps dns is in The best setup with vpn is to push the vps dns server address to the client using the option in the vpn software. Im not 100% sure without googling how thats done with openvpn since Im more of a softether user, which has openvpn built in.
