According to the changelog for 2024.2:
Security
- Fix DNS leaks in blocking states or when no valid DNS has been configured due to an underlying OS issue. In these cases a dummy DNS will be set to prevent leaks.
I have tested with the current version and it appears to leak exactly like it did before. So any time a person is on an unreliable connection, it is likely to leak their DNS requests.
Procedure:
Always On VPN enabled.
Block connections with VPN enabled.
- Connect to VPN server.
- Verify at Mullvad website than VPN is connected and no DNS leaks.
- Go to ipleak website and verify no DNS leaks. Leave page open.
- Disconnect VPN
- Return to ipleak website open page and see that testing has paused due to disconnected.
- Reconnect VPN
- Return again to ipleak website open page and it will show 4 connections made to your local/ISPs DNS server.
Note I removed all the links as stupid Reddit filters kept blocking my post.
