from dnsleaktest.com
Overview
DNS Leak Fix for OpenVPN version 1.2 is a software program developed by dnsleaktest.com. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The setup package generally installs about 30 files and is usually about 786.79 KB (805,676 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 61% of users of DNS Leak Fix for OpenVPN come from the United States, it is also popular in Australia and United Kingdom.
