ExpressVPN - DNS Leak Vulnerability With Split Tunneling

I found this DNS Leak in ExpressVPN, I made a special video showing this DNS Leak:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ww4maZfjrg

What does that mean? DNS Leak = Your ISP is able to track your internet While you are connected to a ExpressVPN

In the video I use 3 sites that manage to mount this DNS LEAK. Not every site can find it. Example: ExpressVPN DNS Leak testing on their site reveals nothing.

First I show you the DNS LEAK, then I turn off their "security hole" and show you the differences.

Not yet known if everyone will have this dns leak, but this dns leak is known to ExpressVPN and it happens to more peoples.

The Full Story:

The DNS Leak occurs while the Split Tunneling option is activated.

I reported to ExpressVPN about this DNS LEAK a month ago, and even gave their tech support access to my computer to try to find out why this is happening

They admitted to the incident, and are aware of it before I even reported it to them (this is how they claim) It's important to note that I sat and tested a lot of VPN softwares and none of this happened to me

ExpressVPN tried and couldn't find any specific problem on my computer that was causing it.
thought you had a point until read

For some people split-tunneling is a useful thing for them, gaming, streaming, etc.
All this while still wanting to be protected by the VPN for the rest of their browsing.
I switched to using ProtonVPN - they have split-tunneling without DNS LEAK.
Good information, thanks for sharing. I was thinking about using them.
nobody use split shit
