Beryl AX on DHCP but own DNS?

Not sure if I'm missing something, but is there a way I can force the DNS myself yet still use DHCP on the WAN side for my IP?

My issue is I'm currently in Latvia and I need access to my home network in the UK. This is on a dynamic DNS via an asus router, and the DNS I'm fed by the local ISP can't see it for some reason. I can override on the clients but that doesn't let the Beryl see it as it seems to still use the DHCP provided DNS, so I can't connect to my home VPN.

Also, is there a way to let some connections bypass the VPN and maybe only apply it to a single SSID? My ideal would be to have 2 SSIDs, one for local that just connects at full speed and one for the UK that goes through my VPN.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, my hope is I can take the beryl wherever I go and always have a way to appear at home when needed, but still be able to be local and only ever need to find one network cable point to get me up and running.

See DNS - GL.iNet Router Docs 4

See VPN Dashboard - GL.iNet Router Docs 4
Switch to based on VLAN and use the Guest SSID for the VPN (or vice versa)

Thank you for the quick response! I thought I'd tried those settings in DNS but will go and try again, maybe I didn't give it long enough as was getting rather frustrated with the ISP provided kit here at the time!

Don't get confused by the DNS that will show on WAN (on the main page) - this will always be the DHCP provided one; but not necessary the used one.

Double check that your DynDNS works: dnschecker.org
