Dunno if this will help anyone, but, random tech tip: if you're using a VPN and a fork of Firefox browser, and your DNS leak test looks like a rusty sieve, check your browser's privacy settings to make sure DNS over HTTPS isn't turned on. I'm no expert in this, but i'm preeeeetty sure that when you're using a VPN, you don't want the internet to see any IP addresses but the one you specifically told it to. What happens when that setting IS enabled is that your browser sends a bunch of other random DNS requests and they all show up on the check's list. For some reason, in MY browser, this is enabled by default. Anyway, I turned it off and passed the leak test with flying colors. Hope this helps someone. (it says it will turn itself off when a VPN is enabled. It lies).
If I've got something horribly wrong, here, or done something extremely stupid without realizing, PLEASE correct me in the replies so this post doesn't mislead anyone who reads it (and so i can fix my fuckup).
