DNS Leak Prevention

Private, DNS Terenkripsi

Keep your DNS requests inside the tunnel VPN. Shieldeum routes DNS through the server VPN you're connected to to help prevent leaks and reduce ISP tracking.

Designed to avoid kebocoran DNSs on Wi-Fi publik and home networks.

Apa itu DNS?

DNS (the Domain Name System) is the "address book" of the internet. Every time you type a website address, DNS translates that human-readable domain name into the numerical alamat IP perangkat Anda needs to connect.

Without protection, your DNS requests can reveal which websites you're trying to reach, even when the content you view is terenkripsi with HTTPS. Anyone monitoring your DNS traffic, such as an ISP or a local network operator, can build a log of the domains you visit.

A VPN helps protect lalu lintas Anda by encrypting the koneksi between perangkat Anda and the server VPN. DNS Privat takes that further by keeping your domain lookups inside the same terenkripsi tunnel.

DNS can expose:

  • Websites you attempt to visit (domains)
  • When you visit them
  • Patterns that can be used for profiling

Why DNS privat matters when you use a VPN

A kebocoran DNS happens when perangkat Anda sends kueri DNS outside the tunnel VPN, typically falling back to ISP Anda's default DNS resolver. When this occurs, ISP Anda (or local network operator) can see which domains you're requesting, even though your other traffic is terenkripsi.

This can partially defeat the privasi goals of using a VPN. If your kueri DNS are visible, the domains you visit are exposed, and networks can potentially block or redirect your requests.

Shieldeum is built to keep DNS resolution tied to the koneksi VPN, so your domain lookups travel through the same terenkripsi tunnel as the rest of lalu lintas Anda.

Common causes of kebocoran DNSs

  • Misconfigured network settings
  • Captive portals and restrictive Wi-Fi
  • IPv6 / dual-stack edge cases
  • Some router or OS overrides
  • VPN disconnects and reconnects

How Shieldeum DNS works

A clear, step-by-step look at how your kueri DNS stay inside the terenkripsi tunnel.

When you connect to Shieldeum VPN, the app sets a local DNS alamat IP on your system. This resolver address only works through the tunnel VPN, it doesn't resolve on the open internet. DNS resolution itself runs on the server VPN you're connected to, meaning your queries travel inside the terenkripsi tunnel and are resolved server-side. The result: kueri DNS don't leak to ISP Anda's DNS by default.

01

Connect to a Shieldeum server VPN

You open the Shieldeum app and connect to any server in the network.

02

Local DNS resolver is assigned

The app assigns a local DNS resolver address on perangkat Anda that only resolves through the tunnel.

03

kueri DNS travel through the tunnel

Your DNS requests go through the terenkripsi tunnel VPN to the connected server VPN.

04

Server-side resolution and secure return

DNS is resolved on that server VPN and the response is returned securely through the tunnel.

This design keeps DNS tied to the same lokasi server as your VPN session, reducing mismatches and accidental leaks.

What you get with Shieldeum DNS Privat

Helps prevent kebocoran DNSs

kueri DNS are routed through the terenkripsi tunnel VPN, reducing the risk of accidental exposure to ISP Anda.

Reduces ISP visibility

ISP Anda sees VPN traffic, not the individual domains you visit, helping reduce domain-level tracking.

Avoids third-party DNS exposure

On Wi-Fi publik, kueri DNS stay inside the tunnel instead of going to the network's default resolver.

Consistent DNS location

DNS is resolved on the server VPN you're connected to, aligning your DNS location with your VPN session.

Better resistance to DNS-based blocking

Because queries go through the tunnel, local networks have less ability to filter or redirect your DNS requests.

Dibangun untuk real networks

kebocoran DNS protection that works where you actually use the internet.

Wi-Fi publik (airports, cafés, hotels)

Keep your DNS requests private from local network operators who may log or redirect your queries.

Home ISP

Reduce domain-level tracking by routing DNS through the tunnel VPN instead of ISP Anda's default resolver.

Travel & restrictive networks

Avoid forced DNS resolvers that can block, filter, or redirect your penjelajahan requests.

Switching networks

Designed to re-apply DNS settings when reconnecting, helping maintain protection as you move between networks.

Cara test for kebocoran DNSs

1

Connect to Shieldeum VPN and choose any server.

2

Visit a kebocoran DNS test tool (search for "kebocoran DNS test" in browser Anda).

3

Confirm the DNS resolver shown is not ISP Anda and aligns with the VPN lokasi server.

4

If the test shows ISP Anda's DNS, try switching servers and reconnecting.

5
