| When using an anonymity or privacy service like VPN, it is extremely important that all traffic originating from your computer is routed through the anonymity network. If any traffic leaks outside of the secure connection to the network, anyone monitoring your traffic will be able to log your activity. Types of VPN leaks: - DNS traffic leaves the device outside of the VPN tunnel - DNS traffic leaves via the tunnel but goes to a DNS server not run by the VPN provider | |

| Advanced VPN Test: If you are serious about security and online anonymity, you will want to run your VPN through advanced tests to identify any problems. In other words, don’t rely only on the basic tests described above.  ExpressVPN has released Leak Testing Tools on GitHub. It's open source and free. You can download it here. Quickstart guide on Leak Testing Tools: https://github.com/expressvpn/expressvpn_leak_testing/blob/master/docs/quick_start.md Setting up your VM (virtual machine): https://github.com/expressvpn/expressvpn_leak_testing/blob/master/docs/setting_up_test_machines.md Last edited by ROBBREDD on 2018-05-20 04:45:12 | |

| I also suggest to always check your VPN https://securitygladiators.com/vpn-test-tool/ if it's leaking or if it's working fine as it should be. Last edited by LukeDavis on 2021-10-20 14:25:09 | |

| In the times of governments forcing your ISP to introduce malware into your traffic, its really worth mentioning hardware firewalls. There is simply no reason to let the router your isp controls into your network, or to let any packet not addressed to your vpn leave your network. While ipfire and pfsense provide great firewalls, you really only need an openwrt installation with an iptables whitelist for vpn ips. You can get a lot of commercial routers they support on second hand markets. The problem here is knowing what vpn ips to whitelist / which to put in your openvpn config. But using a non linux system and proprietary vpn software is really asking for trouble anyway, so that should be easy enough. edit: They arent doing this for warez, but my point still stands. Also pin your certificates Last edited by someguy1254935 on 2024-02-11 15:23:40 | |

| Never ever tell anyone how many proxies you run.  | |
