This is a good point, and I make a habit of using a VPN with robust DNS leak protection (there are only a few I know of). My concern long-term is a kind of soft pressure to abandon it by upping CAPTCHA challenges, and that kind of thing. I realize that abuse from these networks is a real problem, but it would be a very easy way to "discourage" VPN use by a large company like Google too.

It's pretty easy to block leaks, including DNS leaks, with firewall rules. At least, in Windows, OSX and Linux. For smartphones, you're better off using custom apps that have been confirmed as leak free.
