Proxies from certain providers might not have their own DNS or could leak your actual DNS server IP address. Similarly, using affiliate DNS servers for specific services (like Google DNS for Google) might expose your real IP.
To mitigate these risks, you can change your DNS to alternative custom values.
Checking DNS leaks
You can check DNS leaks on these websites:
Alternative DNS servers
To set custom DNS values, simply choose an existing DNS server (there are many publicly available ones). It's a good idea to pick a local DNS server that matches your external IP location. However, some worldwide DNS servers are also quite common.
Below is a list of popular solutions, and you can search for more alternatives online.

Using custom DNS servers
Multilogin X
Mimic

- Enter your custom DNS query URL
Stealthfox
- Go to
about:preferences#privacy

Multilogin 6
Our built-in custom DNS functionality only works with Socks 5, Socks 4 proxies, VPN, or direct connection.
In profile settings, click "Advanced" → "Other" → “Custom DNS”. To define multiple DNS values, use a semicolon as a delimiter (for example, 8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4).
