Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ipleak.net.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I am using chrome, maybe a FF issue.
Not only dead in Firefox but it's dead in Chromium as well.

https://ipleak.net/ Works in my case in Chromium and Firefox. So I do not know why you are not getting to it. What do you mean by dead? Do you get an error message.

That means facebook has a hand in that site because I have facebook blocked by a host file.

Couldn't tell. Might be. Would that be something that could show in Privacy Badger or Ghostery?

I don't know. I learned about blocking facebook by the YouTube channel Switch To Linux. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoryWp ... dyw/videos I forgot which video he shows you how to do it. He posts a lot of good information.

Can connect in both Firefox & Vivaldi to https://ipleak.net/ and I have facebook blocked in my host file as well so I don’t think its that.

Does running a VPNs generally through the network manager cause leaks?

@richb have you tried using PIA through the network manager? Because I would like to use pia service in antiX but it doesnt use systemd which the GUI client is dependent on.

I was using it through Network manager. More difficult to set up but it does work. The legacy app from PIA does work on MX booting sysvinit. So it should work on antiX.
