    IP address location different from my DNS

    Hello I noticed recently after using a VPN that my IP and DNS location are different how does it affect my betting accounts?

    do a dns leaktest and make sure you are not leaking your local ip

    use the deep tests here and make sure your flash or java is not leaking your IP either

    Maybe you can try vpn feature Split tunneling.

    Launch browser in that tinneling mode and every request after that will have VPN ip.

    Is that server the defualt for your provider or are you saying it has been changed? Do you know what DNS you want to use?


    Select Settings
    Select “Wi-Fi”.
    Long press your current network, then select “Modify network”.
    Check “Show advanced options” check box.
    Change “IP settings” to “Static”
    Add your preferred DNS IPs to the “DNS 1”, and “DNS 2” fields.

    Or

    If it is already set to STATIC, disable that option and the DNS that is set will be ignored for the default.

    Why would my DNS server be Belgium?

    Curious as my ip shows up as the typical

    2 1 3 2 set of numbers

    But when I check my ip address through google it shows one of those 239pfp:0006000 type addresses. I don't get it I guess that is suppose to be the ipv6 instead of the ipv4 address. Does that matter? I had a VPN a while back. I don't use it now but that seemed to be the type of address that you would get using one. confused.

    Because your Internet Service Provider happens to use one there.

    A DNS server is just like telephone directory of IP numbers matched to domain names, so when you go to a website your browser makes the call and the DNS server interprets where the data should go.

    Anyway, it wont matter to any book or anyone else what DNS server you are using. Not even sure anyone else but you can even see that info.

    I believe so.

    What has brought up the question?

    Has someone said they can detect the DNS server you are using?


    It's not like we go "through" the Domain Name Server like we do with a VPN or Proxy. It is just a database matching IP numbers to domain names we check to find the right location to connect to.
