Every morning, I do a multiple DNS Leak test just as a precaution. Today, I did the leak test and all my IPs were different. They were the same IP block, just different. This made me suspicious and I set about trying to track the problem down. Turns out, there was a misconfiguration in the VPS. Worked yesterday, different today. I guess it was ghosts or gremlins in the machinery.

I got to thinking, for you guys who download a lot of Linux ISOs, might be a good idea to check daily. Even though you are setting behind a VPN, it’s still worth the minute it takes to fire off multiple DNS Leak checks just for a sanity check.

    Is this not just a configuration issue stemming from Dynamic IPs? Similarly; remote public DNS resolvers do commonly rotate their IPs from time to time for privacy reasons and operational reasons. Please check with the DNS providers regarding their practices.
