In the case of a DNS leak, it still goes through the tunnel.

The concern with DNS leaks is with more advanced threats than public wifi use.

On a VPN network that is utilizing shared IPs for privacy, all of the DNS requests come from the same IP address and go to the same DNS servers. This is the same mechanism for privacy that regular VPN traffic uses as well. The concern is that if someone were watching at somewhere like the VPN's datacenter's edge, and the DNS is leaking, your traffic sticks out from everyone else, because the DNS server that the VPN traffic is going to is unique.

It is still going through the tunnel, and is still encrypted.



     The only good thing about this is he didn't attempt to spin it into an attack on pia. However I don't think Mr Zimmer has learned not to attack pia. He probably knows we monitor everything he says on reddit.

  • The only good thing about this is he didn't attempt to spin it into an attack on pia. However I don't think Mr Zimmer has learned not to attack pia. He probably knows we monitor everything he says on reddit.

    No, there's no "we". It's just you that monitors everything he says, because you have a "special" affection for him. You can't go a day without namedropping VikingVPN on PIA's forum. Keep your love life private please.
  • You should really learn when not to say things. Thanks to the beak you can't get away any longer.
  • It is we.  Catcher has a team of 5 watching vikingvpns posts on Reddit as well as myself. 
  • Real funny lrryie. of course we can count to five. How else are we able to maintain our counts 
  • By counts I'm talking about counting the pia servers
  • I can count to 31 on one hand using base 2 mathematics. (Not counting zero, but it is still there.)

    So does this mean I am now in charge of the VikingVPN watchers? I knew the bar was low, but wow. ;)
