What is the risk of a DNS leak
When addressing the domain name system, traffic is not encrypted, which means that if a DNS leak occurs, it is possible to determine where the user is coming from and to which site. A DNS leak discloses your real geographic location, depriving you of anonymity.
Third parties (e.g. your ISP, your employer) may have access to the resources you visit. Attackers can use this information to launch phishing attacks or inject malicious code.
