I'm thinking you don't really understand vpn's or understand what you need to do
Again from their website
Quote: | ProtonVPN DNS leak protection
We do not use third party DNS servers. Each VPN server runs a DNS server as well, and our native apps have a default DNS leak protection feature that forces your internet connection to resolve DNS queries via our DNS servers. This means that when you are connected to ProtonVPN, your DNS queries through our encrypted VPN tunnel. |

Yes, but my DNS isn't being resolved by Proton. It's leaking. |

I'm using another vpn provider, no DNS leaks, here's how I did
Create a openvpn.conf file in /etc/openvpn
Get the .ovpn file from my provider (mine got client side configuration and keys included)
Copy/paste the .ovpn content to the openvpn.conf
Start the openvpn service using either rc-service openvpn start or /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Check DNS leak using https://ipleak.net/ or any website that does DNS leak tests
You can also set the openvpn service to start at boot with rc-update (but it will take a few more seconds to boot your computer)
Afaik, the up & down scripts provided by gentoo are tailored to work with a file named openvpn.conf, I think you gotta rename them if your .conf file uses another name.
Edit: I got openresolv installed |
