This dns leak test says I have a bunch of them, and I’m genuianlly concerned because I just started torrent with mullvand VPN yesterday
In express vpn’s dns leak test though, it only shows eight so idk whats up. I switched to cloudflares dns but after seeing all those leaks I switched back to my normal dns
You must log in or # to comment.
For mullvad VPN did you set up stuff like kill switch on it, and if you are using Qbittorrent did you go to settings > Advanced > Network Interface to tie your VPN to the client? Do you still get leaks after that if you go http://ipleak.net/ to do a torrent address detection check with a magnet link they provide?
Just change your DNS config in the OS you use, I suggest you to use NextDNS but 1.1.1.1 should do the work too.
If you don’t know how to do it just check out NextDNS.io for more details.
A DNS Leak means that you are somehow still using your ISP’s DNS

You didn’t provide much information… do you actually have a DNS Leak? Are any of the DNS servers listed in your test your own ISP’s DNS servers?
Use Mullvad DNS, they even offer a public address available to anyone. Last time I checked, Mullvad was a nonprofit, so hopefully less greedy than a corporate VPN imho. Public DNS is 194.242.2.2
