What is a DNS Leak?
When you type a URL (like google.com), your computer contacts a DNS Server to translate it into an IP address. Usually, this server belongs to your ISP.
When using a VPN, this request should go through the encrypted VPN tunnel to the VPN's DNS server. A DNS Leak happens if your computer inadvertently ignores the VPN and sends the query directly to your ISP's DNS, revealing your browsing activity.
