DNS Leak Warning

The client shows a DNS leak warning when your DNS is set to a local address or matches your default gateway. Here is how to clear it.

Step-by-step

3 steps
1

Understand the warning

A leak means DNS lookups could travel outside the tunnel, revealing which sites you visit even though your traffic is encrypted.

2

Set a public resolver

On your network adapter, change DNS from β€œautomatic” to a public server such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.

3

Reconnect

Disconnect and reconnect the client. The warning should disappear once DNS resolves through the VPN.
