Make sure your DNS requests are going through your VPN. Test your VPN connection for WebRTC leaks.

Thanks for talking interest but how do I check both points which you have kindly brought forth?

1. Making all my DNS requests are going through my VPN? (My VPN is on, 24*7)

2. Testing my VPN connection for WebRTC leaks? (I use NordVPN)

Hey thanks for this info.

I am in a UK address and getting many details out of which I am posting just these, posting others might be extraneous -

“Your IP addresses - WebRTC detection

DNS Address - 1 server, 1 errors.

If you are now connected to a VPN and between the detected DNS you see your ISP DNS, then your system is leaking DNS requests.”

Ergo, I believe I can safely rule out WebRTC Leaks.

Also, the page gives some details on how to switch off WebRTC for every browser. I don’t need to switch off my WebRTC, right? It’s necessary. NordVPN should be taking care of WebRTC leaks, unless I am mistaken.
