# DNS Leak Test & Prevention

A DNS leak can expose browsing requests outside the VPN tunnel. AstraGuardVPN routes DNS through the VPN to reduce that risk.

## What is a DNS leak?

A DNS leak happens when DNS queries bypass the VPN and go to your ISP or another resolver, revealing sites you visit.

## How to test

Connect to AstraGuardVPN, then use the DNS leak tools on /tools to verify queries stay on the VPN path.

## How AstraGuardVPN helps

AstraGuardVPN is designed to keep DNS queries inside the encrypted tunnel when the VPN is connected correctly.
