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?

Re: Hybrid-VPN DNS leaks
What are you trying to apply the VPN to specifically? Could you provide a screenshot of your entire VPN page please?
