Can't change DNS servers on Flint 2

Technical Support for Routers VPN, DNS, Leaks

Hi, I just set up my Flint 2 received today.
I tried changing the DNS servers but I think it's still using the ISP ones.
I'm connected on LAN 1 using it as WAN.

In the Internet tab on Ethernet 1 I see:
DNS servers: 213.205.32.70, 213.205.36.70

In tab Network->DNS I set up:
DNS 1: 1.1.1.1
DNS 2: 8.8.8.8
DNS 3: 1.0.0.1
DNS 4: 8.0.0.8

In Luci at the voice Network the same:
IPv4 Upstream:
Protocol: PPPoE
Address: XX
Gateway: XX
DNS 1: 213.205.32.70
DNS 2: 213.205.36.70
Connected: 2h 59m 31s

What I did wrong?

Thank you!

If you do a DNS leak test (https://dnsleaktest.com/) what is the result?

Cloudflare and Google, so it is a bug in the interface? But both in the dashboard and in Luci.

Thanks

For the DNS you must make sure that your client is using the router as it's DNS server.
A browser might intercept here. Make sure to enable Override DNS Settings for All Clients as well, see DNS - GL.iNet Router Docs 4

I had already activated it. The problem here is that in the router's configuration (also in Luci) the ISP's servers are shown and not those set by me.

And yes: my device is using the router's DNS and not customs

If your ISPs DNS would be used, the DNS leak test would show it instead of Google and Cloudflare.

So the issue seems to be your client device or browser, mostly.

The problem occurs from every device, not just the Mac. However, I don't know if I have explained the problem well: it is not the computer or the browser that is showing the wrong servers but the router: I open the Flint 2 administration page and I see Ethernet 1(which I use as WAN) and it tells me PPPoE and in "DNS servers" there are those of the ISP and not the ones I set in Network->DNS

It's fine that this server is shown there, because that is the server that gets pushed by the PPPoE

It does not mean it's the used one.
