What is a DNS Leak?

Domain Name System (DNS) is the Internet phonebook: it transforms domain names into IP addresses that devices use to identify each other within a network. A DNS leak is a vulnerability that lets anyone see your online activity even though you're sure you have a VPN turned on and protecting your privacy.

What Causes DNS Leaks?

A DNS leak occurs when your DNS requests go straight to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) instead of going through your VPN. This can happen due to misconfigured VPNs, operating system defaults (especially on Windows), browser features like DNS-over-HTTPS or conflicting software. And what happens? Your ISP, hackers or surveillance groups can see which websites you visit, defeating the whole purpose of using a VPN. To stay safe use a VPN with DNS leak protection like VeePN where all your DNS queries stay encrypted within our tunnel.

How to Prevent DNS Leaks

To stay protected, you should test your VPN regularly using online DNS leak test tools. VeePN is designed with robust DNS leak prevention in mind, ensuring that all DNS requests are handled securely within the VPN tunnel. In such a way, your browsing history remains private and shielded from prying eyes.

How Our DNS Leak Test Works

Quick Leak Detection

Our DNS leak test is quick and easy to check if your Internet connection is exposing your online activity. When you use a VPN, all your DNS queries should go through the VPN’s encrypted tunnel. But if there’s a misconfiguration, your system might still send those queries to your ISP creating a DNS leak.

Instant Results

Our DNS leak checker helps you detect this problem instantly. When you run the test, we simulate a standard browser and monitor the DNS servers that respond. If your connection is secure, only your VPN provider’s DNS servers should show up in the results. If your ISP or another untrusted source shows up, you’re leaking your DNS.

Safe and Simple

This test is safe and takes seconds to complete. No software to install, just run our DNS leak check in your browser and get results. This is a must have for privacy conscious users who want to make sure their VPN is working as intended.

Stay Protected

Use our DNS leak checker regularly to stay on top of your online security. Whether you’re concerned about government surveillance, ISP tracking or corporate data privacy, our tool gives you peace of mind by verifying your DNS requests are private. Make it a habit to run a DNS leak check every time you connect to a new network or VPN server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DNS leak?

A DNS leak happens when your DNS queries (the name of a site is translated to an IP address) are sent over your VPN tunnel, usually to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It can expose the sites you access even when you are using VPN, exposing your privacy and anonymity on the Internet.

How to fix DNS leak?

To fix a DNS leak, you will first need to check by running a DNS leak test to see the problem. Next, use VeePN that has a built-in DNS leak protection. It is also possible to manually tune your device to use privacy-oriented and secure DNS services, and turn off such features as Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution on your Windows devices. After making any changes, reboot your VPN to have a complete protection.

Is my VPN leaking?

It is possible that your VPN is leaking when your actual IP address or DNS request can be seen beyond your VPN connection. The most appropriate method to check this is to run a DNS leak test. The presence of DNS servers on the list that are owned by your ISP or any other untrusted source is an indication that your VPN is leaking your DNS.

What are the dangers of DNS leaks?

DNS leaks reveal your entire browsing history to third parties like ISPs, governments and even hackers. This defeats the purpose of using a VPN and you are more likely to be monitored, targeted ads, censored and even hacked. You must protect yourself from DNS leaks to keep your online privacy.
