A DNS leak is a security flaw that occurs when requests are sent to an ISP's DNS servers even when a VPN is being used to protect users. A VPN is designed to encrypt a user’s internet connection, which keeps their traffic in a private tunnel that hides all of their browsing activity.
However, a DNS leak occurs when the user’s DNS requests move outside the encrypted tunnel and become visible to their ISP. As a result, all their browsing activity, including their IP address, location, and web searches, goes through the ISP in the same way it would if they were not using a VPN.
There is a lot of online tools to check that, I just found this and looked nice and wanted to share with you 😛
Could you suggest me the best tried one and for example how can you prevent from this ?
