hey what's up YouTube it's Willington here and today I will be talking to the pif VPN users private Internet access users now with all the DNS leaks going around all over the internet and people having trouble on their IPs being displayed in places they should not be over the Internet I thought I would make a video to the PIAA users like me so you know which settings you really need to have turn on on your computer in order to have privacy and making sure that you're not having any leaks even if you're using a VPN so we will get to that it's so obviously the first thing you want to do is go get into your settings that you can get to by right clicking on that icon on the tray and go to settings this is that but what you need is going into the Advanced Settings if this is how you are set up like this you are not safe I mean you are safe compared to most people who just go in and without any VPN or proxy but you are still not safe you can still show your IP address in some cases alright so we are about to change that making sure to make sure your security is as high as it can be so just live there this SS works for me and the port forwarding just leave that you know unchecked it's safer to have it unchecked than it is when you check it the next thing down here is the VPN kill switch now what does this do you can only get to the Internet if you have the VPN turned on without the VPN turn on there is no internet on your computer that's what that does there might be times that you might forget so in case you forget and go on you know online and using the internet before activate in that case you will be open to the world so this Killswitch just enables just make sure that you can only go online if you remember to turn on your VPN so I've always left that one on now when you turn it on you're going to get a warning they just telling you that this one might cause some connection issues and will not work if you use more than one network it of interface on your computer simultaneously so let's say it can only disable one connection so if you have a VLAN connection and a wireless connection it will disable one and one will still be able to communicate so you want to make sure that you're only using one connection at a time so yeah just so you know so the next one up is a D and a SLIC protection now this is one the most important of all now as you can tell by what it's called the DNS leak protection feature activates VPN DNS leak protection this ensures that DNS requests routed through the VPN that's basically why it is you just make sure that all the DNS you know requests from all different websites and software's out everything is just routed through the tunnel nothing goes outside of the tunnel so you do want to have that checked now again they will give you this warning right here or rather letting you know that it would just requires modifying the operating systems network settings and in some cases can cause connectivity issues but is not I haven't had any problems maybe once actually I had to uninstall the app and reinstall it and it to find which I'm glad it did because for some reason this application that does not auto update so as soon as I had those problems I uninstalled it and reinstalled it I got more features and more connections here that I can use compared to what I used to had have before so I'm glad that happens but that's off the topic anyways so yeah they'll let you know that you might have connection issues but like I said I've been using it for over a year now and I've only had one time recently that I had to it wasn't connecting for some reason so I had to uninstall it on the app and reinstall it and it works great so just go ahead and enable that and there we have those two done and basically that's so far good and then is this one-way ipv6 leak protection I mean it's ipv6 is not common right now so most likely you don't need it but you might so I usually will leave that one on to just to ensure maximum protection you know I know people are using it you know the the the ipv6 is you know getting bigger and bigger but it's not something that's really big right now yet because everyone is ipv4 at the moment but yeah it's something that I mean it doesn't hurt anything so you just leave it leave that one connected to just to ensure you know maximum protection and that's basically it that's basically it if you have all these settings marked the wedding all right now you are safe I can't say 100% because it's the init you know things change and people are always finding ways but as of right now I have not had problems with my connection with having MS and I haven't had any leak leaks at all sorry what you want to do is go ahead and save and I'll actually go online here and show do DNS leak test so let's you is one in this one oh come on so this is what it's shown which is obviously wrong so that's good and we can do a standard taste and that's basically still along us not me and actually I wanted there's another place here that I used this on right here and is seen trying to find something and also sing the the same thing so I'm obviously proof right now none of this is right this is the public IP that is being shown this is the local IP that's being shown and it's also wrong both of these are wrong um so yeah you do want to do those settings and with all those sayings up to right you will be all set please thank you for watching do not forget to subscribe to my channel for more awesome awesome videos and I will see you in the next one bye so what we want to get to is the settings and you know you can get to those by left clicking on an icon right clicking
