Unable to use NextDNS (manual DNS)

Not using openvpn, I’m using wireguard.

Using manual dns settings in Web UI not stubby anymore.

I have checked it many times and I’m sure I’m not doing anything different or wrong and images above I have posted will show my configurations.

What I think is the possible issue… Upgrading B1300 to 3.104 and then downgrading to 3.027 as PPPoE wasn’t working after 3.027 and devs raised their hands.

Is there anyway I can have B1300 as new born baby as reflsdhinf from luci or Web UI gives same issue. NextDNS detects me using DNS of VPN even after I have set VPN policies correctly and on whatismyip shows my real IP and not that of VPN.

As mentioned earlier I am not using stubby but manual DNS configuration on web UI.

I might have missed it as thread is long, but why did you enable VPN Policy?

I use this and it works fine:

VPN Policy disabled
Internet Kill Switch enabled
Overide DNS settings enabled

You then have the choice of manual DNS or DNS over TLS.

I want to enable VPN policies as I want VPN on guest SSID only.

I’m surprised it was working perfectly fine till I updated to 3.104 and downgraded to 3.027. This was due to PPPoE issue.

I have figured out that you can’t use manual DNS server and VPN the same time even if you have correctly set up VPS policies. Firmware versions are buggy and without proper support. Unfortunately if the issue arises dev raise hands and never address it. So far I have faced i)PPPoE issue with no resolution ii) Unable to use manual DNS (not over TLS) along with VPN for guest SSID, no resolution.

Sorry for the pppoe issue. We do not have a way to test.

For the DNS thing we will check.
