DNS Leak #320

Open issuant opened 2 hours ago

issuant commented 2 hours ago

Checking https://mullvad.net/en/check, it says there are no DNS leaks but with https://dnscheck.tools, both the IP addresses of the desktop app and the browser proxy are visible. What's up with that? No other extensions installed. If it is a leak in the browser, to whom is it leaking? My ISP? Mullvad itself?

Does this also leak to websites? I am not sure if this is relevant but I now remember once in the past, a temporary Reddit account I created recorded my sign up location as that of the desktop app's server which was different from that of the browser's proxy.
