DNS Leak Fix with Client

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to fix my DNS leaking issues by using the first soultion (dnsfixsetup) from this link

http://www.dnsleaktest.com/how-to-fix-a-dns-leak.php

But after i restart my airVPN client and rerun the DNS leak test i get the same results.

Is there any way to fix this or do i have to stop using the client?

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

DNS leaks are a typical Windows problem. You can fix it easily, please see here:

Furthermore, you can secure your connection against any leak in case of unexpected disconnection, which will also fix any DNS leak, with a firewall (Comodo firewall is recommended):

Kind regards

I always wanted to know if I should really bother with fixing DNS leaks. What do they reveal after all? That I'm using, or have used the DNS server of my provider...what could be so dangerous about that?

Would using a fixed public DNS server solve the problem too?

Thanks

The download dix from dnsleaktest.com never seemed to work here. Even after installing it, I still don't pass the leak test (one of the DNS servers shown is my real ISP).

The only way for me to pass the test is to manually open up cmd in admin modeafter connecting to AirVPN and entering "ipconfig /flushdns" followed by "netsh interface IPv4 set dnsserver "Wireless Network Connection" static 0.0.0.0 both". Although the instructions on the site say to lastly enter "netsh interface IPv4 set dnsserver "Wireless Network Connection" dhcp", that will make me fail the test again so I just leave it at 0.0.0.0.
