Does Neagear Armor use Cloudflare?

I have both Circle and Netgear Armor enabled for my Nighthawk R800P.

 

When I perform a DNS leak test for my home network f(rom https://www.dnsleaktest.com/) it is showing that my DNS is being resolved by Cloudflare.

 

The thing is that I don't have Cloudflare set up as my DNS for the Nighthawk and I have no VPN's enabled.

 

Does Netgear Armor leverage CloudFlare and is that the reason I'm receiving these results?

    Hi SemperFidelis90, 

     

    Armor does not use CloudFare. This could be related to the DNS server on your ISPs side.
