DNS Leak: Privacy Vulnerabilities You Don’t Know

Do you think it’s safe if you turn on a VPN? If the VPN has a DNS leak problem, your browsing history will still be seen by your ISP. Today let’s talk about what a DNS leak is and how AoxVPN prevents it.

What is DNS

DNS is like the phone book of the Internet. You enter aoxijinfu.com in the browser, and the DNS server converts it into an IP address for you. Every time you visit any website, DNS is queried first.

What is DNS leakage

Under normal circumstances, after using a VPN, DNS queries should be sent through the VPN's encrypted tunnel. However, some VPNs are not configured properly, and DNS queries will be sent directly to the ISP's DNS server, bypassing the VPN. This is a DNS leak - your ISP can see which websites you visit.

How Aox VPN prevents DNS leaks

• All DNS queries are forced through the VPN tunnel
• Uses its own secure DNS server
• Built-in DNS leak protection, no manual configuration required

How to test for DNS leaks

1. Connect to AoxVPN
2. Visit dnsleaktest.com
3. Run the extended test
4. If the displayed DNS server is in the country where Aox VPN is located, it means there is no leakage

AoxVPN’s DNS leak protection works out of the box and does not require any settings. Go to Aox VPN official website to download and experience it.
