Extra protection while on a VPN : DNS leak protection

No offense to your method, but why not have an alternative method that also works for Linux and Macs?

Here is a thread I made for Windows users on PIA about DNSCrypt. (Not the garbage version by OpenDNS.)
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/fo...ws-#Item_1

It is entirely free and open sourced. And the servers are linked in too, with a detailed list showing what each supports and does not support. And if it has not changed in a few days, the only server they have that logs is OpenDNS. So do not use OpenDNS.

Note that every time you connect to a new network or VPN, or disconnect from a VPN you will need to close the DNSCrypt program and reopen it and again select all adapters it shows you and then select your server. And if you use a VPN, most of the time it will not support IPv6, so avoid the IPv6 DNS servers.

I hope this helps people. And Linux and Mac instructions are on the DNSCrypt homepage. Good day everyone.
