New tests now show that only the vpn server in the country where it is located will show up in ip check websites and in my email logon history. Yesterday I downloaded an application called DNSCrypt from OpenDNS, installed it and did the tests again and now it seems there is no more leaking when running the vpn. This was the result even with the manual changes as described above. When launching the vpn and visiting my email my isp was logged there, meaning that my dns was leaking. To further clarify what was going on, to try to stop the leak problem, I had been manually changing the preferred dns settings in the TCP/IPv4 properties menu by going through the adapter settings in the local area connections for both the the tap adapter and normal local area connection. I am showing a solution that I found for the benefit of anyone else who may have had the same problem with OpenVPN. I would very much like to know if anyone has noticed the leak problem with Open VPN and found a solution to the leak.
So I have stopped using my paid VPN service and use the proxies because my DNS does not leak from them. Unfortunately these are proxies and not VPN tunnels so the servers will be generating logs, but at least my ISP is now blind and if anyone wants to know my surfing habits they will have to take up the task of getting into the proxy server logs. One is Ultrasurf (which I have to manually configure in the browser 127.0.0.1:9666) and the proxy which is built into Epic privacy browser. Only two things I have found to not leak. I have manually configured a remote DNS resolver in Romania through the properties menu in the adapter settings in Windows 7 but still have the leak. I have also tried to fix the leak with a patch script which is downloaded from a link from the dnsleaktest website and have found that this does not work to stop the leak. All those what's your-ip type of sites say that my IP is coming from the VPN server when it is not. Even with a VPN my actual IP will be logged.
In addition to, I have confirmed the DNS leak though my email provider, which logs the IP address when logging on. I have tried and tested several VPN providers, even those who say that they have a solution to the DNS leak problem, such as Mulvad for example, and they all leak. Since using I have found that any VPN service using Open VPN will leak my DNS through the tunnel.
