[Jack-Sparr0w]

Just need a quick guide to fix leak test results with open vpn and unbound, its showing isp. New to this program and not to sure how to add vpn bind in options. I cant find advanced section in this program, any help if possible. Just need picture by picture setup if its alright. (Screenshots)

Granted it's quite lengthy, but there's a boatload of relevant information about DNS support in the router in the following thread (including the DNSMON utility).

I'm pretty sure there are discussions regarding the VPNs and DNS specifically (there's a lot of twists and turns the farther you get into the thread). And I recall other threads around that same time where I specifically discussed the VPN DNS settings and their implications.

DNS is a *very* complex topic when it comes to the router. There are just too many options to consider in a single post, esp. when you now throw in the OpenVPN client DNS options on top of it all. IIRC, I don't think the DNS Director was an option at that time; it's new, further complicating matters.

P.S. IMO, DNS in the router is way, way, overly complicated. It's gotten ridiculous frankly. Even I can't keep up w/ it anymore. Fifteen/twenty years ago, it was blissfully simple.

Here is one way (or actually 2 ways) to do it:

Atleast from unbound and onwards.
It's written for wgm but it would work the same using vpndirector with ovpn.

Note: you still need to take care of everything between your client and router, like dns privacy prevention and make sure clients are not allowed to use any other dns.
