Table of Contents Installing the Shrew Soft VPN Client: Linux. +1.407.380.6080 Email: Web: Installing the Shrew Soft VPN Client: Linux It might not be 100% stable though, as the other DNS servers are still available and will be chosen, if the DNS server of VPN connection does not answer in time.Global Technology Associates 3505 Lake Lynda Drive Suite 109 Orlando, FL 32817 The VPN interface with its DNS server was highest priority and I did not suffer a DNS leak anymore. After a reboot, everything worked as expected. The change was visible with Get-NetIPInterface immediately, but the services did not seem to be aware of that change already. I then changed the metric of my virtual VPN interface to 1: Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex -InterfaceMetric 1
You can check the current metrics with the following PowerShell command: Get-NetIPInterface | Select-Object -Property InterfaceIndex, InterfaceAlias, InterfaceMetric In my case, a metric of 55 was assigned to my virtual VPN interface, 50 to my physical WiFi interface and 5 to my physical Ethernet interface. You can read more about this in this excellent answer. You might expect, that Windows uses the metric just for routing purposes, but it also uses it to select the primary DNS server. Windows 10 uses the Automatic Metric feature to determine the metric of each network interface automatically.
Apply the highest priority (lowest metric value) to your VPN interface in comparison to other interfaces and reboot your machine to make all services aware of the new metric: Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex -InterfaceMetric 1
