FAQs
How to check for DNS leaks when using a VPN in 2025?
Connect to your VPN (think NordVPN or ProtonVPN), then run an extended test at trusted leak tools such as dnsleaktest.com. Confirm the resolver IPs match your VPN, not your ISP. Automate the check hourly for mission-critical setups.
What causes DNS propagation delays after updating nameservers?
Propagation delays are cache delays. TTL values, ISP caching policies, DNSSEC validation, and registrar syncs all influence how quickly updates appear. Lower TTL ahead of changes and monitor with global checkers for best results.
Best free DNS speed test tools for comparing providers?
Explore dnsspeedtest.online for quick browser-based DoH checks, DNSPerf for global enterprise metrics, and GRC's DNS Benchmark for deep analytics. Pair them with our insights to pick the right resolver for your region.
How long does DNS propagation take for new domains?
Expect 24–48 hours on average, with some edge cases stretching to 72 hours. Registry updates, TTL policies, and ISP caching are the main drivers.
How to fix DNS leaks showing Google servers instead of your ISP?
Force the resolver you prefer in your router or OS, adopt encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT), block unwanted resolver IP ranges, and verify again with leak tools. VPN users should ensure their tunnel enforces its own DNS resolvers.
