Every morning, I do a multiple DNS Leak test just as a precaution. Today, I did the leak test and all my IPs were different. They were the same IP block, just different. This made me suspicious and I set about trying to track the problem down. Turns out, there was a misconfiguration in the VPS. Worked yesterday, different today. I guess it was ghosts or gremlins in the machinery.

I got to thinking, for you guys who download a lot of Linux ISOs, might be a good idea to check daily. Even though you are setting behind a VPN, it’s still worth the minute it takes to fire off multiple DNS Leak checks just for a sanity check.

    I’ll have to accept a higher knowledge base than mine, but I check this every morning, and for years they have been the same across different leakcheck sites.
