ANSWERED Regarding DNS Leaks, did I set this up right ?

[Royee 10]

Hi I followed parts from this guide here:

 

https://airvpn.org/topic/9289-dns-leaks-and-how-to-fix-them/

 

however rather then create static IP and then add AirVPNs DNS servers of 10.4.0.1 & 10.5.01 and entering these into my LAN and IPv4 settings on Windows Operating System,   I simply added the AirVPN DNS servers into my Routers DNS config(instead of my ISP's) and edited my host file to include AirVPN servers.

 

That way I can now launch and connect to AirVPN client and connect and 'then' able to Surf the internet,  I checked ipleak.net (great site!)  and it is showing only Airvpn type IPs,  out of the 2 shown none are from my ISP name or ISP IP address.

 

Is this ok ?  I figured it is far quicker and easier and anything else connected to router goes the Airvpn route only!

 

Just wanted to make sure Its ok this way?  thanks !

Hello,

 

yes that's fine, however you should get just 1 DNS in ipleak.net, can you send us a screenshot?

 

EDIT: just a clarification, is OpenVPN running on the router or on your Windows system?

 

Kind regards

Hi I am connected via airvpn client windows,  to bootis UK server.

 

I have always checked ipleak and it has always shown 2 boxes one says 

 

your ip address : BurstNET Limited - AirVPN Server (Exit)  (with VPN IP)

 

Detected DNS Address:  BurstNET Limited - AirVPN Server (Exit) ( With VPN IP)

 

Both IPs shown are the same in both windows,  no evidence of my original ISP IP or other DNS addresses,  I hope this is right and no dns leaks ?

 

Sorry should have added I am still going through the tomato guide but stuck on question 4 of finding my ip address in the cert/downloaded files:

So not fully up and running on the router yet !

Hello!

 

Ok, the results from ipleak.net show no DNS leak at all.

 

Kind regards
