ColR1948 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I recently bought and installed a VPN (virtual private network). I used it a few times then while I was supposedly in another country I got a popup advertising a pension plan for people living in Manchester, my home town. So how did it know I was in Manchester and not in that other country? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hi Chas, I got in touch and got a lady on, tested everything and it seems I had a DNS leak. So to cut it short I ended up doing a few entries in the cmd prompt then changing the DNS in my router. Did a speed test and it has made a difference there, my internet is going very fast now but not sure if the leek is still there. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
