Disable google DNS for VPN

[Hannosset]

Hi,

I noticed that when I start the VPN, it automatically connects to 8.88.8 and 8.8.4.4 as second DNS.

I would like the VP{N to use 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112 instead.

Every time I start the VPN it forces the google dns even after I specify the quad9 dns.

Question1: How can I impose the DNS to the Kaspersky VPN?

Thanks,

Christophe Hannosset

Hello @Hannosset, Welcome.

Unfortunately it is not possible to change the DNS resolver.
Even if you enter your preferred server in the adapter settings, it will be reset to the Google servers the next time you start KSeC.

The problem is known and will hopefully be changed in a future version.

Thank you for you prompt answer.

Do you have any timeline?

I feel right now very unsecure as Google remove the DNS entry for sputnik and its DNS is becoming politicized.

Hello @Hannosset,

unfortunately I can't tell you anything about a schedule, you have to open a ticket at the support.

As far as I know, Google (in the EU) does not show any search results for RT or Sputnik.
That the DNS resolution will also be affected would be new to me.

I am not in Europe, I am in Singapore.

Right now I ma able to reach neither Sputnik nor RT.

Do you have any recommendation?

Then maybe obvious to you but apparently the web site is redesigned and I have no idea how to create a support ticker.

Any help or guideline you can help me with?

Hi, just so I can understand this

when I do leak tests, it shows  Kaspersky VPN IP but then under DNS it shows google.

So this is actually normal? It's not my real IP address but some Google range IP address.

Am I still secure?

Interestingly, torrent leak tests always shows the Kaspersky IP, so that seems totally secure.

I was using Nord prior Kaspersky premium, and it always passed every weekly standard leak test I did, so this was a bit of a surprise to me, because one thing the dns test when Kaspersky VPN is enabled DOES always show is my real country and even state location. Again, this is only in browsers though, it seems torrents are secure.

I feel that my question is totally on topic with this and I felt it better to bump an older topic rather than write a new one, but if that is preferred in future, do let me know so I can act appropriately with future requests.

Thanks so much in advance!
