DNS Settings

[kelltech]

I'm sorry but I don't fully understand everything I'd like to know about DNS settings and DNS leaks, etc.

When I go to ipleak.net, I usually see my IP address as whatever exitnode I'm using but my detected dns addresses are all over the place. Sometimes it will just say Berlin no matter which exitnode I use, sometimes it says Canada, sometimes Berlin and Canada together and sometimes it shows 8 to 10 detected dns addresses in California! I can say I haven't seen my actual location, but is this a problem?

As long as the DNS address that show up are not your ISP's or Google's, you should be OK. Below are the addresses pushed by Cryptostorm when you connect (taken from my resolv.conf).

# Cryptostorm DNS Servers
# nameserver 198.100.146.51
# nameserver 76.74.205.228
# nameserver 213.73.91.35
# nameserver 91.191.136.152

As a bit of a backup, like... a "just in case"... enter two of the above DNS addresses in:
Phone - OpenVPN for Android (replace the two Google DNS entries)
Windows - Physical NIC (adapter settings)

I actually by default use in all my routers/modem/android devices the following:

192.121.170.170
176.10.127.43
188.165.25.65
37.187.0.40
88.82.108.30

ALL OpenNIC and community checked
I loved OpenWrt

I have noticed extra DNS servers showing up in the widget config screen. Most of them are not listed on this thread. I've asked support to check it out.
