Hybrid-VPN DNS leaks

Hybrid-VPN DNS leaks

I'm having an issue trying to setup a hybrid-vpn connection on my xr500.  I can get the VPN to work but the router still uses my DNS servers setup for my normal connection.  In this case it's googles DNS 8.8.8.8.  How do I specify the VPN to use the VPN's DNS servers?  Without the DNS servers being correctly setup the VPN connection isn't secured.

Model: XR500|Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router

You can manually set custom DNS under Setup/Internet.

Yes but how does one use the DNS server provided by the VPN service with the VPN connection but use my "regular" DNS servers for my non-VPN traffic?

What are you trying to apply the VPN to specifically? Could you provide a screenshot of your entire VPN page please?
