How to prevent DNS leak on Virtualbox?

Post by Obit055 »

Hey, so I have a proxy software which running with Proxifier, and when I open my browser on my real Windows 10 OS, I don't have any DNS leak, the DNS is same as the proxy's country. But If I create a new Windows 10 VM in VirtualBox, and there check my DNS on websites, I have DNS leak everywhere. How can I solve this problem, to prevent DNS leak in VM?

Be sure to wrap the threads with two turns of Teflon tape, then tighten hard. No leaks!

Oh, wait, that's plumbing... :lol:

Zip and post your guest's .vbox file, found in the guest's folder, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab, so we can see what the guest's network settings are.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_leak, VPNs are involved. Virtualbox isn't a VPN. Are you attempting to run a VPN on your host or guest?
