DNS (Domain Name System) is the system that translates website names (like google.com) into IP addresses. Every time you visit a website, your device makes a DNS query.
What Is a DNS Leak?
Without DNS leak protection, your DNS queries can be sent to your ISP's DNS servers even when the VPN is active. This means your ISP can see which websites you're visiting, even though your traffic is encrypted — effectively defeating part of the purpose of using a VPN.
How PrivateByRight VPN Protects You
PrivateByRight VPN routes all DNS queries through our own encrypted Private DNS servers. This prevents your ISP from seeing your DNS queries and ensures your browsing activity remains private.
DNS leak protection is enabled by default. You do not need to configure anything.
How to Verify
Connect to PrivateByRight VPN and visit dnsleaktest.com. The results should show PrivateByRight DNS servers, not your ISP's servers.
