Many of us know something called DNS leak. Even behind many security measures which we take towards anonimity, DNS leak can be one thing which exposes your real identity. If a DNS request gets leaked/revealed to your ISP, your ISP will have info of your actions and probably log those actions... Now you know why DNS leak is so dangerous...
PREVENTION
Method #1: Encrypt all DNS requests - not hard to find tutorial on the internet
Method #2: Open your local network's IPv4 and IPv6 protocol properties (control panel -> network -> properties ...) and manually enter your DNS server. This server can be open-source or can be purchased. /* Free DNS servers such as Google, OpenDNS, etc.. */
Using method #2 will hide your real DNS. Whoer.net will prove it.
NOTE: This is quick tutorial... But it is more of a "raise awareness" article. To really prevent DNS leak, it is not so hard and you can find much on the internet. You can find many websites which test your DNS servers for leaks also. Stay safe!
