About DNS Leak Test
DNS Leak Test checks which DNS servers answer the lookups made by your connection. If you use a VPN or a custom resolver and the results show your ISP's servers instead, your DNS requests are leaking outside the tunnel and can reveal the sites you visit.
The test runs in the browser and takes a few seconds, and the site explains how to fix a leak. It suits VPN users and anyone checking that a privacy setup behaves as expected.
Strengths
- Runs in a few seconds with nothing to install
- Shows the resolvers your connection really uses
- Includes guidance on fixing leaks
Limitations
- Only checks DNS, not other kinds of VPN leak
- Needs a browser on the connection being tested
