PIA VPN DNS Leak

Featured Replies

Hi

 

I used the PIA-WIREGUARD application from community applications to create a wg0.conf file I checked the docker logs from PIA-WIREGUARD and it connected to PIA successfully.

I used the wg0.conf file in Settings-VPN Manager and was able to setup VPN tunneled access for docker, I applied that and setup wireguard with PIA successfully.

I followed the guide and added Firefox via docker, I made sure to set the Network Type: to be my new wg0. I then ran Firefox and checked whatismyipaddress.com and it showed I was in the country I had chosen as part of the wg0.conf setup.

I also then added an additional parameter in advanced section in docker for Firefox and added the DNS entries that I got from the wg0.conf file the parameter was entered as follows the same as the guide:

---dns=1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5 (Made up DNS entries)

I then followed the guide and within my Firefox session I checked dnsleaktest.com but it is showing my actual broadband provider, so DNS Leak protection is not working.

I really dont know what else to try, if anyone had any advice that would be great

Thanks
