DNS leak

DNS queries sent through a resolver outside the intended network route.

A DNS leak occurs when domain-name lookups are sent to a resolver outside the intended network path, such as the configured proxy or VPN route. The resolver may learn which domains are being requested and expose a mismatch between DNS and the visible IP address. Consistent DNS behavior reduces contradictory network signals in managed profiles.
