Hey all!
I’ve got everything 99% setup with my Brume 3 and it’s performing excellently with my VPN.
I have recently experimented with something so just want to make sure it makes sense.
While previously I set all VPN traffic to use its own tunnel to have VPN internal dns servers resolve addresses (with excluded non-tunneled devices using adguard via Quad 9 DNS) which worked well; by tunneling everything through the VPN I do lose partial control over what I can see through Ad guard.
I’ve bought a month of another VPN provider (for testing) that provides an external DNS, and have used those DNS addresses upstream in Adguard settings, while additionally toggling: Allow Custom DNS to Override VPN DNS:
I checked for DNS leaks and it does seem to be using the VPNs DNS resolvers now, however the DNS server seems to be using something called ANYCAST (from what I’ve read) which is routing it through Singapore or UK. I’m not sure if that’s an issue (Ping isn’t too bad).
What I’m trying to do: Have VPN tunnel active and full Adguard functionality using a VPN’s external DNS resolvers, without DNS leaks.
Will this work, does that make sense?
Thanks!
