I connect to a WireGuard installed on my VPS. Then I go to a random VPN service marketing page on which I’ll discover that my DNS leaks. And which is correct because I’ve specified DNS = 1.1.1.1 in [Interface] for all the Peers.

In order to avoid DNS leakadge, do I have to a) run DNS server on the a VPS – along with WireGuard, and b) use this one and only it, instead of 1.1.1.1?


But if so, how will this possibly work?

[Peer]
PublicKey = [....;....]
PresharedKey = [......]
Endpoint = wg.my_domain123.com:51820

In order to resolve Endpoint of my VPS to begin with, other DNS server will have to be used – by IP. But there’ll be none because I’ll use a DNS on my VPS instead of 1.1.1.1. In other words, it’ll be a circular dependency.

    This will be the same for your DNS. If you want true anonymity regarding DNS, you should use someone else’s service, preferably over encrypted channels, eg. cyberia.is DoT.

    I haven’t asked for a hidden advert

      Looks like you shouldn’t ask for anything at all, given that you cannot take a single answer without being a condescending jerk. I’m not affiliated to cyberia.is in any mean by the way just proposing a service that you could use to solve your problem if you were not too busy being a douchebag.
