Quote from the article:

DNS leaks are not dramatic. There’s no attacker, no data center breach, no policy failure. Just code doing something its authors didn’t intend, quietly working against the protection users assumed they had.

This sounds AI generated. I suspect the entire article is. Some cases it explores I have heard of but I wouldn't trust AI to not make stuff up.

It reads like one of those articles that shove a VPN referral link at the bottom for the one you can "actually trust".
