[PLUG] trying to establish a controlled secure internet connection

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 16:09:49 -0800 

Hello All:
I am trying to establish a secure internet connection using a vpn config connections file (protonvpn) 


While the initial connection shows that I am only using ProtonVPN's DNS 
resolvers, after a period of time things degenerate.



Here's is the log file (I apologize for the length) from 
https://www.dnscheck.tools after I let my connection be established for 
around 90 mins or so.

I want to ask the Linux community the question, how can we secure our 
sessions and not have DNS leakage?


I don't want to have my DNS queries be logged.


This is a disappointment to me, to find the gradual incursion of other 
DNS servers into my internet session. (or network session)



How can we establish a truly secure internet session with controlled DNS 
lookups?
