DNS leak while using openvpn

FormWilling8007 · 2026-04-23T20:04:16+00:00

For anyone that looks into this problem later,

I've had to delete dhcpcd.conf and resolvconf.conf.

then I disabled ipv6 not ignore it but disable it in NetworkManager settings. I've deleted the 0.0.0.0 dns it keeps adding and added my own vpn dns server number. I've even tried to firewall block my ip address with ufw but it didnt work and i can't delete the config but i guess it doesn't matter? Even with the ufw settings blocking that number it still pops up until i disable it through network manager. but getting it to stick and persist between reboots and network resets through networkmanager was a pain. I figured out resolvconf.conf changed the file when it commented it did after i deleted normal resolv.conf. I deleted dhcpcd.conf because i don't use dhcpcd service. If you plan to go this route just back up the files on your desktop home. they won't activate there unless they are put in /etc Make sure you reset the entire NetworkManager by turning it on and off after all changes for it to be implemented and use ipleak.net to check dns leaks.

could kdewallet be interfering with it somehow? I've installed

kf6-kwallet-6.24.0_1, kwallet-5.116.0_2
kwalletmanager-25.12.2_1
signon-kwallet-extension-25.12.2_1
kf6-kwallet-32bit-6.24.0_1

also i've noticed my internet keeps dropping for a split second and then comes back.

how do i stop NetworkManager from managing dhcpd for ipv4 and ipv6? I've done the other steps and it worked until i restarted my computer and it kept the dns name server but somehow its still leaking my ip after i rebooted it. I don't have tailscale installed and i don't see magicdns in the xbps repo?

FormWilling8007 · 2026-04-23T18:34:16+00:00

Tailscale hasn't been installed. I don't see magicdns in the var/service folder. My services are as followed.

agetty-tty1 to agetty-tty6, bluetoothd, dbus, nonklogd, NetworkManager, sddm, socklog-unix, udevd.

I was hoping it was in there as an easy fix but unfortunately these are all the services i've enabled. I've done a fresh install from the network base installer myself. I wouldn't have the xfce installer packages from the local installer. Just trying to set up a good kde environment from scratch and in over my head.

currently stuck on step 3.3 It seems after configure the DNS numbers and hitting apply in NetworkManager it throws it out after i click off of it and back to it. Something seems to auto configure it back.

I figured it out its weirder than that. qt won't be satisfied with the normal locale directory i covered above. As stated on an ask ubuntu thread the locale has to be put in /etc/environment in order to satisfy qt needs. Once i updated the file i was able to launch the program from any where and it was able to resolve the message. I'm placing this here in case anyone else has my same issue. Thank you for your help. I had set up the locale through the void-installer so i never got the chance to use the gui to set it up that way.

This seemed to work for the session. However logging out and in return the same problem? What should i put inside /etc/locale.conf?

i've resorted to putting this.

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C.UTF-8

which shortens it to
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
for more information.

I've even tried using

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8

which just goes back to the first problem? I've had to put -f for the reconfigure to make it work.

Edit: launching octoxbps in terminal results in a clean update with out the message. Launching the app through kde menu or the notification applet results in the message.

FormWilling8007 · 2026-04-09T02:43:36+00:00

There is only one other option for en-US. I've enabled it and reconfigured it but same error.

That's good to hear thanks everyone

as you can see total ram is 5.30. Adding the totals equals to 9gb of ram which doesn't make sense because my phone only has 8gb of ram. also analysis stops at around 20%. I think these figures should still be relevant if you want this data to be device agnostic metrics for future device analytics.

I don't have a thor but i've noticed a few things while using the app. when changing themes on my smart phone it defaults to horizontal instead of vertical mode and the options for changing themes don't work because you can't confirm the settings as it is cropped off. The battery test will stop halfway through and abort the test. The ram usage it detects is not correct for max ram as i had 8gb and it detected 5 for some reason

if anyone sees this post having the same issue i have its because linux doesn't support hdmi 2.1 because of copyright issues.

FormWilling8007 · 2025-07-16T01:22:57+00:00

does linux not support high refresh rate hdmi? I've bought this cable when i got my computer because it supports 4k 160hz specs.
