Stopping DNS Leaks: Ensuring Absolute Online Anonymity

Difficulty: Pro Time: 5 mins

Why DNS Privacy Matters

Even if your data is encrypted, a DNS leak reveals every domain you visit to your local internet provider. It’s the most common way privacy-conscious users are tracked without their knowledge.

Why choose 233Clouds for Privacy?

Our global nodes include built-in DNS encryption. When you use our recommended Privacy Essentials setup, your DNS requests are hidden within the secure tunnel, making them invisible to third parties.

Expected Result

When the leak is fixed, ipleak.net should only show the IP and DNS of our global node (e.g., a US or HK provider), with no trace of your local city or ISP.

Setup Walkthrough

1

Detection

Visit a leak testing site like ipleak.net while connected to 233Clouds. If you see your real ISP's name, you have a DNS leak.

2

Force DNS in Client

In your app settings (like Clash Verge or v2rayN), enable 'Force DNS' and set the DNS address to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1.

3

Disable Local DNS

Go to your Windows/macOS network settings and manually set your DNS to 'Automatic' or a secure provider to prevent local hijacking.
