      @edwardnizz said in ip leak, DNS? Using PIA Clueless.:

      Im willing to pay if anyone knows a good pay support site familiar with PFsense.

      https://www.netgate.com/support/ you won't get better support than there.

        Well if you don't understand a techo term - then LOOK IT UP!!

        You are paying PIA - have them help you!

        Just at a loss to how people with no understanding of how this stuff works - are convinced they actually need a vpn to hide that they go the internet from from their own ISP. Then when shit doesn't work they don't get it why...

              There's also a list of static mappings on the bottom of the DCHP Server page.

                under dns resolver. disabled dnssec. PIA doesn't support this.

                then enable forwarding mode right below it. see if that clears anything up

                  @bcruze ok on the android device, using the chrome browser, I did get a NY area IP after the adjustment. I have no clue how that relates to DNS, but hey, its a win. Thanks!
                  However, and this is strange, but my laptop (which bypasses the VPN using a bypass rule) still cant connect to the local utility company. Even when i disable the bypass rule. I still dont connect.
                  I did do a workaround by setting up my ip4 settings in my laptop to use "Google " DNS servers 8888 and 8844. That seems to work.

                  Also all my android devices use the vpn. All my pc's are bypassed with aliases. When i checked the laptop i disabled the bypass rule and checked the other pc's as well. When disabled they did show PIA's server instead of my isp's. And when i enabled the rule it showed my real ip as it should.

                      Unless you are using the PIA DNS Servers for a reason I would recommend either setting all your DNS settings back to the defaults or follow the guide below to setup DNS over TLS.
