A DNS leak refers to a security flaw that allows DNS requests to be revealed to ISP DNS servers, despite the use of a VPN service to attempt to conceal them. Although primarily of concern to VPN users, it is also possible to prevent it for proxy and direct internet users.

(In this example, I connected to a VPN network in France/ipjetable, but a server in Switzerland received my DNS requests anyway)

How to protect yourself from a DNS leak:
Set up cloudflare 1.1.1.1 - Windows 10

Follow these steps to configure 1.1.1.1:
Click the Start menu - Settings.
Select Network and Internet -Change Adapter Settings.
Right-click on the WiFi network you are connected to and click Properties.
Select Internet Protocol Version 4.
Click Properties - Use The Following DNS Server Addresses.
Take note of any DNS addresses you might have and save them in a safe place in case you need to use them later.
Remove any DNS addresses that may be already listed and in their place add:
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
Click OK.
Now, go to Internet Protocol Version 6.
Select Properties - Use The Following DNS Server Addresses.
Take note of any DNS addresses you might have and save them in a safe place in case you need to use them later.
Remove any DNS addresses that may be already listed and in their place add:
2606:4700:4700::1111
2606:4700:4700::1001
Click Close.
Visit 1.1.1.1/help
to make sure your system is connected to 1.1.1.1.
