I need an Idiot's Guide to VPNs

Recommended Posts

I have been using FrootVPN for the past few months but kept getting copyright notices from Comcast until I finally realized that Froot doesn't have a "killswitch". However I never had trouble with DNS leaks while using it. Today I decided to switch to AirVPN because, as I understand it, it has a built in killswitch. But now I seem to be having trouble with DNS leaks. What settings do I need to tweak or additional programs do I need to run?

I use to be pretty tech literate in my younger years but I seem to be way behind the times when it comes to VPNs and Net privacy, so speak slow and use small words

I'm running Windows 10 (probably with mostly default settings as I just upgraded recently) and Vuze for torrents, if that's helpful. 

Thanks for the help

killswitch?

 

I guess that's the network lock but if you're getting DNS leaks it sounds like you're not using it.

Moderators do not speak on behalf of AirVPN. Only the Official Staff account does. Please also do not run Tor Exit Servers behind AirVPN, thank you.
Did you make a guide or how-to for something? Then contact me to get it listed in my new user guide's Guides Section, so that the community can find it more easily.

I was able to fix my dns leak by turning off DNS switch mode in settings under Advanced, then DNS.
