Even with a proxy, your DNS settings can still expose your real IP address – defeating the whole purpose of masking it. Some proxies don’t have their own DNS, while others may leak your actual DNS server IP. Using affiliate DNS servers (like Google DNS for Google services) can also reveal your identity.
How do you fix this? Simple – change your DNS settings to custom values. Let’s break it down.

Alternative DNS servers
To set custom DNS values, simply choose an existing DNS server (there are many publicly available ones). It's a good idea to pick a local DNS server that matches your external IP location. However, some worldwide DNS servers are also quite common.
Below is a list of popular solutions, and you can search for more alternatives online.

How to set up custom DNS servers
Our built-in custom DNS functionality only works with Socks 5, Socks 4 proxies, VPN, or direct connection.
In profile settings, click "Advanced" → "Other" → “Custom DNS”. To define multiple DNS values, use a semicolon as a delimiter (for example, 8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4).
How to check for DNS leaks
You can check for DNS leaks on these websites:
What to look for?
- ✅ If the test only shows your proxy or VPN’s DNS, you're safe
- ❌ If you see your real IP or ISP’s DNS, you have a DNS leak!
