It's entirely smokescreen. Yes your DNS doesn't "leak" your IP... but server will immediately get the IP of the client on first try of connecting it.



But the DNS won't. Many times the DNS and Webserver are different hosts. Eg: DNS in Route53 and Webserver in Linode


Also, looking up DNS in one direction and browsing (say over a VPN) in another. The destination site doesn’t always get the same IP that the DNS request gets.
