How do I activate DNS leak protection?
Installed Proton VPN yesterday and did some tests. In normal mode and in Secure core mode my real address comes back again and overrules the adress generated by protonVPN. It happens when I am just browsing or posting on forums.
So at start I am protected and in no time everybody sees my real IP address!
What’s the use of a VPN in this case.

Hi, this sounds like the VPN is not functioning or configured correctly. Can you please drop us a line via protonvpn.com/support-form with information regarding your OS, the VPN client you are using (incl. a version number), which servers you are connecting to and a screenshot of a successful connection with a leaky IP and we’ll be happy to investigate what causes this situation

One feature I saw in perfect-privacy VPN is that in the client you can check your IP without having to browse a webpage.
When you release a Linux client, please add it if possible :)

We support the same feature in the Windows client and our Linux client is in the works, stay tuned!
