Curious DNS lookup results

[telemus 16]

Hello there.

I find Airvpn really easy to use, very reliable and the FAQ/forums very helpful. I have a couple of questions about DNS that I seem unable to find answers on the forums.

 

1. I checked my IP / DNS at https://ipleak.net/ and for the DNS result, there is displayed a row of yellow triangles, with exclamation marks (!) in each triangle. I would be grateful if I could find out what that means! Thanks.

 

2. I used another VPN before coming to Air. I use Ubuntu 14.04 and Eddie, but have also used the network manager. The DNS query showed the DNS were:

 ~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 209.222.18.222

nameserver 209.222.18.218

Eddie removes these DNS but if I do not use the VPN or when I use the network manager, rather than Eddie, the DNS test shows the two above (209.222.18...).

I've tried all I can think of to change this but with no success.

BTW: in the network manager I have entered two logless DNS servers as the default - but they are not used. It is only ever the 209.222..... servers, unless I use Eddie. 

Any suggestions, most gratefully received. 

 

Thanks for your time and for reading this.

I personally cannot reproduce it, but you don't seem to be the only one having this.

sounds like that other vpn was by passing the network manager by defining the interfaces it self, you can see how to fix that here;

you may also have to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf

 

sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf

 

replace "vi" with nano, gedit or wich ever editor you perfer.
