Xr500 still leaking DNS with NordVPN NOT GOOD

[carmaruti]

OK I bought xr500 new router because xr1000 does not have hybrid vpn yet. I configured the openvpn client on the router with nordvpn setup and everything works great, i get ip address different that my ISP but to my shock with I did DNS leak test, I see all my ISP DNS servers.. so its leaking DNS.

 

dont search on this forum I see this was reported back in 2019, seems its still not FIXED? I am running latest firmware from Neatgear website for xr500.

 

Please let me know how to fix the situation, yes I can use my NORDVPN DNS server in router setting but then this routes all traffic via there server not just the ones I need too from my list of devices. Not idea atall.

I'm not sure if it's on this version or not, I think it is but on HybridVPN click the  icon and you should be able to enter the VPN DNS there that will fix it.

I checked and I dont see the icon you are referring to on my Hybrid VNP page. I am running XR500 V2.3.2.134 

Is there any other way to add DNS to only VPN traffic?? Maybe updates to the configuration file?

Can you check if the most recent beta has this option enabled? if yes I will try to install it on my router.

I don't have an XR500 to hand but I believe it does so do upgrade and let us know if that resolves it for you.
