  • Traceroute won’t show if you leak DNS requests outside of your VPN. (Unless you coincidentally also leak traffic, but then you’re pretty much just not using your VPN).

    To confirm you’ll need to analyze your traffic-flow using a tool like tcpdump or Wireshark and check the source and destination for DNS traffic. If you see incoming DNS responses on an interface that is not your VPN-adaptor or maybe a loopback interface then you’re probably not tunnelling DNS through the VPN.

    To answer the question in the headline: Regular DNS is unencrypted and quite easy to snoop on, so any node on the route between you and the DNS server will be able to read it if not using a VPN (i.e. DNS leak). Not sure what you mean by adversary, but it’s not like anyone on the internet can see your traffic. The DNS server may log your request and if you’re not on VPN, your IP address may be logged too.








  • You know very well that musk is not just “a guy”, he is ultrarich and is using his money to get more money, no matter the cost to the rest of the world.

    You know very well that the amount musk promises to donate monthly is more money than most people will see in their entire lifetime - including you.

    You know very well that trump is not just a political candidate. He is a fascist piece of shit and has already stated that he will be a dictator.

    Why do you simp for these fuckers? They wouldn’t bother to piss on you if you were on fire.
