DNS Leak Thanks

[Jester 5]

I was reading up on the Network Lock, trying to discover why it would not work on my comptuer. I am running win7/ComodoFirewall. I found my answer in that it is a plugin for Win Firewall, which I do not use. So now that I found my answer, no worries. Then I cam across DNS Leaks and such, I decided to see if I was "Leaking". I was very surprised to see that Chrome was indeed leaking. So I followed the steps to stop Firefox from leaking, and am now safer for it. So, thank you all, for the advice. I am safer and mroe free now than I was an hour ago.

I did a DNS leak test on my connection and noticed my ISP's DNS appearing in the results. Not always, but often enough that I was concerned. Despite my router using DD-WRT was set to use Google DNS it kept popping up.

I double checked my settings in my router. DNS 1 was 8.8.8.8, DNS 2 was 8.8.4.4, and DNS 3 was 0.0.0.0. However, when I went to Status ->WAN screen, the three DNS servers showing were the Google ones and one from my ISP. So I added an OpenDNS IP to my 3rd DNS slot and haven't had any problems since. Make sure you fill in all of your DNS spots with a preferred server or your router/computer may get one for you.

maybe it's solved already but also check if your ISP supports IPv6 and your network adapter is configured to it as well. I thought I had everything in place and couldn't explain to myself why I was leaking till I discovered that the ISP I was using had IPv6 support and leaked my IP in the background.

I disabled IPv6 in my network adapter preferences and plugged the DNS leak with this.
