I been trying to search for some authentic DNS Leak Tool, but unfortunately found high ranked few option on Google. Some of them showing the different results and some of them showing the same but sayin you are not protected… Although I have realized some of them selling their own VPN by this. Simple Question which of them is really authentic to follow?
It’s better than Ipleak.net in detecting DNS leak. In my case, Doileak successfully detect my physical location through my OpenDNS and Cloudflare DNS servers (as connection would automatically gets hooked up with the server closest to you); while in Ipleak.net, it just show detection error, not knowing my public DNS servers are leaking my geographical information.
I use ipleak.net not sure if they are selling a product but the website works very well, I use it to test people’s vpn’s and have found quite a few that don’t work as advertised.
So I tried dnsleaktest.com. It did not show my public IP; it showed the one issued by my VPN service. When I clicked standard test, however, it showed that my DNS requests was resolved my Google’s public DNS servers. Does this mean my VPN service, encrypt.me VPN, has DNS leak?
Interesting that it detects SSL and other obfuscation of traffic, though it does seem to lump them all in as SSL.
Now, I’m little confused about DNS Leak tests, If i conduct DNS leak test through vpninsights.com or dnsleaktest.com they both comes with one single results. but if i disconnect the VPN and rerun the test, it will bring more than 7 to 8 results but location is same and ISP. what does that mean? what exactly DNS Leak suppose to mean?
That was really easy to use and understandable
Some of these tools are banned by cloudflare dns (You wont see any testing result when you use cloudflare dns).
I’d like to add one more tool https://bash.ws/dnsleak
The problem isn’t about how many DNS requests are being made, but whether they are leaking your physical location. If the DNS requests are being made by the VPN server, then there’s nothing to worry about; but if the DNS request shows the connection location was from the place you physically present, then most likely the DNS request was still sent by your ISP, therefore not giving you the most comprehensive protection (though neither the DNS provider or the ISP would be able to track you, the website you visit can still tell where are you actually connected from). The real question lies not on how many DNS results, but rather any of them is showing the location you are in.
To check it, if you are using Doileak, you should copy the IP address of the DNS server, and paste it onto Iplocation.net and see where the DNS server was actually located in. If the DNS server was in the place you connected your VPN to, then everything is fine and the only downside is your VPN provider is lazy / cost-saving enough to use public DNS. But if the DNS result return your real location, then you should consider changing your VPN provider.
Find another option call DNS Leak Test By VPNInsighs what you thing about this one? authentic or crab ?
