Mullvad block-outside-dns - set custom

mullvad2

I'm trying to use my own DNS with Mullvad,
for example Open Network & Internet -> Adapter Options-> TCP/IPv4 -> DNS 1.1.1.1

If i try to do this, the connection will either drop or mullvad ignores it altogether and use their hijacked servers.

I tried to create an [url=https://mullvad.net/en/account/#/openvpn-config/?platform=windows]OVPN config here[/url] , by removing block-outisde-dns my real DNS will leak as expected.

I tried this argument as well but that didn't work >> pull-filter ignore "block-outside-dns"

Basically what im trying to do is, possibly by TCP 443, 53 or maybe 1400,1401 [url=https://mullvad.net/en/help/faq/#39](Cause they don't hijack DNS)[/url]
To be able to traffic my own DNS such as cloudflare ON TOP of mullvad.

To make it simpler to explain, I tried other VPNs such as NordVPN, Windscribe and im able to change my DNS from adapters without the connection dropping. --> I try to achieve the same with Mullvad, without their DNS blocking

I want to be able to do the same with Mullvad because I prefer it the most

By the way, im aware of the new mullvad feature https://schnerring.net/blog/use-custom-dns-servers-with-mullvad-and-any-wireguard-client Custom DNS" , By doing this, i'll connect directly to another DNS server by compromising my real DNS.

I want to keep Mullvad DNS as a shield, and only show Google,quad9,Cloudflare or whatever in https://dnsleaktest.com

Use :

pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option DNS "

Hello, thank you for your reply,
Unfortunately that doesn't work for what im trying to do.

What im trying to accomplish is, keep Mullvad's DNS, but at the same time use Cloudflare's DNS.
When i go to https://dnsleaktest.com/ , id like the Cloudflare DNS only to be shown.
If i remove Cloudflare(1.1.1.1) from my Network adapters, then id like to see Mullvad's there as my DNS.

This is normal with any other VPN providers and can be done easily like explained above.

Sorry for any confusion, I hope it's clear for what im trying to achieve.

Use mullvad DNS with no block and add cloudflare in network adapters --> only show cloudflare as dns
Then remove cloudflare, mullvad shows.

To ignore every DNS from the server and then add what-ever DNS you want to your client config.
