VPN: IPVanish vs NordVPN

Recommended Posts

I thought I would test out the 2 VPN services I'm subscribed to at this time.  I wanted to see raw tests, tests with VPN enabled and more importantly, the possibility of a DNS leak.

I'll admit while I understand the concept of a DNS leak, I used 3 different web sites to test which are listed at the bottom.

No links included as this isn't a pitch for either service except raw links to the speed test I used and the 3 DNS leak websites.  Happy to know if those don't work and if there are better actual methods to test for a DNS leak.

NordVPN never showed DNS leaks on the 3 sites listed above.

IPVanish frequently shows a Comcast DNS server(s) in the mix.
