DNS leak tests

[philotux]

Using NordVPN's servers, I use https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ and https://ipleak.net/ to check for DNS leak. Are they reliable means for this? Which one(s) do you use?

If you're interested in preventing leaks and locking down your system, I put a post up elsewhere you might find helpful. Or not.

Yes for https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ and no for https://ipleak.net/ since it's a dead link. I have no DNS leaks with Astrill VPN. Lately there has been some controversy with Nord VPN. I don't recall the video on YouTube about it.
