The last 192.168.0.254 name server is running on my local router and forward request to my ISP (this is the default name server when VPN is not activated). When I query the DNS, queries are sent to each name server which makes a DNS information leaking to my ISP I validated that by the mean of tcpdump on eth and tun interfaces and also by using that site: https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ I tried to force the VPN DNS server IPs in the VPN configuration (edit Vpn connection -> ipv4 - > Automatic Adresses only ..) but the result is the same. dnsmasq must not have the local DNS present while VPN connection is established. ** Affects: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment xenial -- Ubuntu 16.04 VPN : DNS information leaking through dnsmasq https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
