Hello, I understand your situation. You're using a Xiaomi Mi 4A router with OpenWRT 19.07, and you've successfully installed OpenVPN and VPN routing. The issue is that DNS traffic isn't being redirected to your VPN server despite the WAN interface pointing to 10.8.0.1. You mentioned checking via AdGuard, which confirms DNS requests are being routed somewhere else. You're wondering why OpenWRT isn't using the DNS set in both interfaces. It seems the problem might be related to how DNS resolution is handled or the configuration itself. Let me know if you'd like help troubleshooting further!
