[Feature Request] Use host DNS when not connected to VPN

Open HNGamingUK opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello,

As the title of this request suggests, I would like to (if possible) use the host provided DNS when starting up and then use the set nameservers once the VPN is connected.

The reason for this request is simply for users who are using DOH, with the current method it would cause DNS to leak and be sent via non HTTPS method. Whilst this is a small amount of requests I think it is a good improvement to ensure privacy.

DNS to leak and be sent via non HTTPS method.

it doesnt leak dns, the dns query and reply is all done over the VPN tunnel, yes the query is not encrypted but with no possible leakage of your isp's ip address i think the advantage of DOH would be minimal at best.

I could be wrong, but I was more referencing before the VPN tunnel is stood up, eg the resolution of the vpn server to connect to.

I admit it would be a rather small window of time that the tunnel is not connected and thus only a couple requests will go through.
