Stop DNS leaks with VPN connection

The DNS or Dynamic Name System translates the domain names into numerical form which we know as IP address. Normally while using the VPN the DBS request should follow the VPN provider’s DNS. But if there is any leak then it will also follow the ISP’s DNS server through which they can track your online activities. So then you are not secure and also the activity is not anonymous.
