That free VPN I installed last week actually let my ISP see everything because I didn't check the DNS leak setting
I ran a simple DNS leak test after hearing about it on a forum and found my real IP was showing through, so now I always check that before trusting any privacy tool, has anyone else caught a VPN failing like that?

Caught my neighbor's $5 VPN leaking his IP during last week's poker game, same story @jakewhite.

Dude same here, I thought that free VPN was solid until I ran a leak test and saw my actual IP pop up. Now I won't even trust a paid one without checking DNS first, feels like half of them are just snake oil.

Oh man, 'snake oil' is right. My buddy Matt signed up for one of those 'no-log' VPNs and six months later his bank info got scraped from some random server leak.
