About DNS Leak Test
The DNS Leak Test is a critical privacy tool for VPN users and security-conscious individuals. When you use a VPN, your DNS requests (the translation of domain names like 'google.com' to IP addresses) should effectively be handled by your VPN provider's secure servers. However, due to operating system misconfigurations or browser settings, these requests can sometimes 'leak' out to your ISP's default DNS servers, revealing your browsing history even when your VPN is active. This tool checks which DNS server is actually resolving your requests, helping you confirm that your identity remains masked.
