One should use DNS servers offered by one's VPN provider. Otherwise, it leaks to both VPN provider and DNS provider.

- so_throwaway 5y agoThis is irrelevant, no one using a VPN is also configuring a 'family-friendly' DNS resolver.
- skrebbel 5y agoWhy not? I use a VPN to give my half-Danish children access to Danish TV from outside Denmark, and I also have, well, children who I might want to protect against evil content such as nipples. I don't do the latter but that has little to do with the fact that I use a VPN sometimes and more to do with the fact that we're not American and American ideas of what's "family friendly" feel extremely alien to us. In fact, given that they have an option that blocks malware but not nipples, I might actually use this.
- so_throwaway 5y agoI mean, you don't seem to be a counter-example to the claim that "no one using a VPN is also configuring a 'family-friendly' DNS resolver".
- DeathArrow 5y agoHow cool would it be to be able to only allow malware but not nipples? :D
- ec109685 5y agoDon’t most vpn providers encapsulate both udp and tcp?
