How does it affect me?
A DNS leak can significantly affect your online privacy.
If you're using a VPN to keep your internet activities private,
a DNS leak can undermine this by allowing your ISP to see the websites you're visiting.
This not only exposes your browsing habits but can also reveal your location and the type
of content you access, which you might prefer to keep private. In regions with strict i
nternet surveillance, this could lead to legal or social repercussions. Furthermore,
it can also make you vulnerable to
cyber threats like phishing, tracking, and digital profiling by third parties.
