I have installed an OpenVPN access server on an free tier EC2 instance with default VPC and connected to it. My ip is changed but when I checked dns leak using (https://www.dnsleaktest.com/), it is showing multiple EC2 server name(shown below).

     IP                          Hostname                               ISP          Country
3.18.181.28     ec2-3-18-181-28.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com.    Amazon.com  Columbus, United States 
3.31.116.124    ec2-3-31-116-124.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com.   Amazon.com  Columbus, United States 
3.18.128.150    ec2-3-18-128-150.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com.   Amazon.com  Columbus, United States 
3.17.150.179    ec2-3-17-150-179.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com.   Amazon.com  Columbus, United States

Can anyone explain me How/Why these server being called and can these server owner see my ip address? And none of the above ip is my EC2 ip address.

because VPN connection will 'tunnel' your traffic through its own servers, masking your IP address, your location and activity.

and It shows your ISP's (Internet Service Provider) IP, Not your Ec2 Instance IP..

Those are not Ec2 Server IP.
