XR500 Hybrid VPN Torguard DNS leak
I am having trouble preventing the DNS from leaking in my hybrid VPN setup.
I have added the following lines to my VPN confing but they dont help.
push "block-outside-dns"
push "dhcp-option DNS 1.1.1.1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 1.0.0.1"
My DNS is still showing as my ISP.
Is there a way to set LAN DHCP side pushed DNS (where is the option)
If anyone could post a picture that would be awesome or if anyone has a solution.

Re: XR500 Hybrid VPN Torguard DNS leak
I am connected to the VPN via TCP.
I got the VPN's DNS details but my issue is that it applies router wide if I apply them on the internet setting page. I only want the DNS to be applicable for the devices the Hybrid VPN is in use for.

Re: XR500 Hybrid VPN Torguard DNS leak
Also whats really strange is that when i connect using my VPN providers app, it unblocks all websites but when i connect through my router with the Hybrid VPN, the sites that were blocked by my ISP remain blocked. Any idea why? There is no DNS or IPV6 leak.

Re: XR500 Hybrid VPN Torguard DNS leak
They have a native android app and if I use that everything works just fine with the same IP.

Re: XR500 Hybrid VPN Torguard DNS leak
Tried the same vpn with my DD-WRT router. Everything works fine. This is definitely a DumoOS problem. Are you guys going to fix this? When will you release a fix? Also do you have a beta program?

Bugs happen! But I can confirm we are working on a fix for this.
In the meantime, could you set your DNS to something secure like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 ?
Thanks

Re: XR500 Hybrid VPN Torguard DNS leak
Hi I just wanted to add that I am having this same issue on my desktop. I have tried adding the settings as well to my configuration and they did not work. I also tried routing my dns requests to cloudflare servers but I still get dns leaks. If I use the desktop app made by expressVpn the dns leaks go away. Let me know if there is more info I can give to help out, I have been waiting on this firmware update for a while :D.

Re: XR500 Hybrid VPN Torguard DNS leak
1. This is the method I use and recommend. Take your old router flash dd-wrt on it. You can pretty much do everything on dd-wrt that you can do on the Xr500. If you have used dd-wrt before I am sure you know. You can use ip routing to select which devices should use the VPN and which ones don't. You have to assign the devices a static ip on dd-wrt. All this is really easy to do and takes 15 mins. In addition if you want to use the xr500 just run an Ethernet cable from your Modem to the xr500 in port and then one out to your old dd-wrt router with the VPN on it. Now you have the gaming goodness of the xr500 and the VPN on your old one. You can even manage how much bandwidth your VPN devices can use through netduma. Just connect the devices you want on VPN to the old router and the gaming console to your xr500. Best of both worlds 😛
In case you don't have your old router anymore just buy the r6400 it's a cheap ($26) excellent router with great range and plays well with Dd-wrt.

The dd-wrt firmware ftp just find your router.

2. Flash dd-wrt on your XR500, you can pretty much do everything on dd-wrt that you can do on the Xr500.
