- DNS poisoning and DNS leaks are common issues when using the internet in China.
- DNS leaks occur when DNS requests are sent to domestic servers despite using a VPN, potentially exposing sensitive browsing activity.
- SmartDNS can be configured to prevent DNS leaks and optimize CDN selection for faster browsing.
- Using OpenWRT with SmartDNS requires configuration via the Luci app, not direct file edits.
- Foreign upstream DNS servers should be prioritized to prevent leaks, while domestic servers are placed in a separate group.
- The dnsmasq-china-list project helps accelerate domestic domain resolution without causing DNS leaks.
- DNS-level ad blocking should focus on avoiding false positives; 217heidai/adblockfilters is a recommended rule set.
- Automating rule updates via Crontab ensures the latest configurations are applied.
- Using OpenWRT as the primary router is recommended to avoid IPv6 DNS issues.
- Clash configurations can be overridden to prevent DNS leaks and optimize performance.
- Mihomo's DNS request flow involves multiple steps to ensure secure and efficient resolution.
- Replacing default GeoIP and GeoSite databases with Loyalsoldier/v2ray-rules-dat enhances accuracy and updates.
- Clash Meta for Android requires specific configurations to handle frequent network changes.
- Regular DNS leak tests confirm the effectiveness of the setup.
