How Does AethoVPN Prevent DNS Leaks?

DNS leaks are potential privacy risks facing VPN users:

• DNS leak definition: Even when using a VPN, your DNS queries still go through your local ISP's DNS servers, exposing the websites you visit.
• Leak hazards:
  • ISPs can still see which websites you visit;
  • May expose your real location and identity;
  • Defeats the privacy protection purpose of using a VPN.

  • DNS request encryption: All DNS requests are encrypted and transmitted through the VPN tunnel;
  • Anti-leak technology: The app has built-in DNS leak prevention mechanisms.
• User detection methods:
  • Can use online DNS leak detection tools for testing;
  • Compare DNS servers before and after VPN connection to see if they change.
• Additional recommendations: If you have concerns, you can manually configure trusted third-party DNS services.
