Windows DNS Leak Test: Check Visible DNS Signals

Use this page to review visible DNS resolver signals from your current browser session while using Windows. Behavior can vary by Windows version, browser, VPN, adapter, router, network and settings. This does not certify a browser, device, VPN, setting or connection.

Current-session checks

What this Windows self-test checks

This checks limited browser-visible DNS resolver signals in the current Windows setup. Use the existing MyIPScan tools to review the visible signals instead of drawing conclusions from one page.

DNS Leak Test Review limited resolver-signal behavior for this browser session. VPN Leak Test Review IP, DNS, WebRTC, IPv6 and browser/session signals together. WebRTC Leak Test Check browser WebRTC candidate behavior. What Is My IP Review your visible public IP and network context. IPv6 Leak Test Review whether IPv6 appears in visible signals. Browser Fingerprint Test Review browser characteristics that a VPN usually does not change. Methodology Review the limits before interpreting results.

What this cannot prove

  • This applies to the current browser session or current setup only.
  • This does not prove anonymity.
  • This does not prove complete security.
  • This does not certify a browser, device, VPN, setting or connection.
  • Behavior can vary by browser, OS, extension, network and settings.
  • This does not inspect every app, device route, extension, OS service, router path or network path.

Scenario-specific caveats

  • Windows adapter order, VPN clients, private DNS tools and router settings can change DNS behavior.
  • Browser-based checks do not observe every Windows app, service or resolver route.
  • A DNS signal can need review without proving that every DNS route is exposed.

How to compare before and after

  1. Run the same check before changing a VPN, browser, OS, extension or network setting.
  2. Make one change at a time when possible.
  3. Rerun in the same browser and network context.
  4. Compare visible signals and save a Privacy Receipt if useful.

Privacy Receipt limits

Privacy Receipt exports use safe summary categories and remove raw IP, exact city, full user-agent, raw fingerprint data, raw resolver IPs and WebRTC candidates. It is not a certificate, device audit, browser audit or proof of anonymity.

FAQ

Windows self-test FAQ

What does this Windows page check in my current setup?

It routes you into focused MyIPScan tools for visible browser/session signals related to DNS Leak Test, plus supporting privacy diagnostic checks.

What does this page not prove about Windows?

It does not prove anonymity, complete security, or every app, browser, device, route, extension, OS service, setting or connection. It is not a certification of Windows or your setup.

Why can results vary by browser, OS, extension, network or settings?

Browser version, OS version, extensions, VPN clients, router settings, carrier networks and privacy settings can change visible signals.

How should I compare before and after changing a setting or VPN?

Run the same check before the change, make one change, then rerun in the same browser and network context when possible.

What should I do if a signal needs review?

Open the focused DNS, WebRTC, IPv6, VPN or fingerprint tool, read the methodology, then review the relevant browser, OS, VPN or network settings.
