While everyone’s at it, you may want to check for leaks with Mullvad VPN’s service, it picked up a DNS leak for me that got past a few other sites:
edit: also ipleak.net, which tests a few other things, like torrent ips
Huh, it says I’m leaking DNS servers and WebRTC IPs, but I don’t have secure DNS enabled, and I’m not really sure why WebRTC leaking my IP is a problem considering I’m already “leaking” my IP just by visiting a website.
In my case I had reset a device and didn’t disable IPv6. Once I fixed that the bottom two tests still say I’m “leaking”, but all three show only one IP each, for my VPN’s servers (maybe different IPs, but one for each.)
If I were actually leaking, IPs shown would be for a local DNS, or my residence, etc.
