Windows 10 Leaking DNS Requests Over VPNs

[Katheudo]

If you do not know Windows 10 has been leaking DNS requests if you are using a VPN. This is because when Windows 8/8.1 came out a new feature came out that attempted to improve web performance by looking up DNS requests in multiple places over multiple networks and not just your VPN tunnel, this was suppose to "improve" network performance while looking up DNS requests.

So if you wish to stop these leaks from happening give the following a go:

However the gpedit change only works on PRO and Enterprise versions on Windows 10, but they do have a solution for Home users as well.

Just thought I would let people know on EZ as I could not see this anyway I wish I could go over to Linux fully but Windows still has to many programs I need to use
