DNS leak

Many of these IP addresses provided by the proxy do not pass the DNS leak test at dnsleaktest.com.

Only two IPs pass:
199.217.118.201 (Saint Louis)
173.xxx.xxx.xxx (Abescon, NJ; rarely comes up)

The IPs that don't pass:
204.27.56.170 (Kansas City)
204.27.58.34 (Kansas city)
208.94.247.130 (Kansas City)
107.170.205.162 (NY)
104.131.22.37 (NY)

What a DNS leak is per the testing website (more info at the website itself):
Whenever your computer needs to contact a server on the Internet, such as when you enter a URL into your browser, your computer contacts a DNS server and requests the IP address. Most Internet service providers assign their customers a DNS server which they control and use for logging and recording your Internet activities.

Under certain conditions, even when connected to the anonymity network, the operating system will continue to use its default DNS servers instead of the anonymous DNS servers assigned to your computer by the anonymity network. DNS leaks are a major privacy threat since the anonymity network may be providing a false sense of security while private data is leaking.
