Only trust my frens, here. I thought using a VPN would mask one's actual location and ip address. But there are some sights that recognize my account with them whether or not I am using a vpn. Can someone explain? Thanks.

Well, it did say I might have a DNS leak. But I am already using a VPN - so I guess it's not a very good one. Rats. Thanks for putting me on to that. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.
In most cases, this only a concern to help you hide from your provider and probably not causing your present issue. If your using google, clouldflare, etc. for dns, then I wouldn't trust anything and find a dns provider you can trust. They all talk to each other.
I steer clear of anything gurgle related. I didn't know choosing a DNS server was an option. I'll have to look into how one does that. If you have a recommendation, I'm all ears. Thanks for all your help, btw.
