Here is a step by step guide for PIA and VPN for use with your ASUS router. Preferably Merlin Firmware but you can use either or.
If you have problems connecting or are having DNS leaks after you read the guide carefully then message me and I will try to help you out further.

i almost read everything on that link :) you gave me.. but the problem is that i been using it on my synology everytime :)

the thing is that i only use the PIA twice on my PC but tbh i dont know if the synology or the PC have the DNS leak. it just bcos when i go to a site like ipleak.com and test it its says it leaking... but the thing is that i would like is to have my normal ip from my normal provider, so it dont leak with all diffrent countrys when i see the test i do see my ip is there but under it i seee like netherland or germany or like USA. and it kinda freaking me out and im scared about it.

anit there like a DNS reset so i just get my normal so i just see my ip. and not others ips?? so i dont get this DNS leak i honestly dont know hows this work? i just did that test and it freaked me out, with all those others ips im sorry. i just dont understand and im in panic

When you do a test for DNS leak it is normal that when you are on a VPN that the DNS address is the same as the IP address of the VPN server.
The only way you can have local ISP is to use policy rules instead of all traffic.
this way you can have specific devices on VPN all the time and the rest of the devices will be on regular ISP
is this where you want to go? or need help in?

Think of it like this, Your IP address is like your address at home and the DNS is like the postal code.
It is normal that you have a lot of DNS addresses for your local ISP, you can use Google, opendns, norton DNS addresses with your local ISP and there is no problem. However when you are on a VPN the IP address and DNS should be the same but when your on local isp it is normal to see your local ISP address and a bunch of DNS addresses. don't worry be happy, things look right for you :)
