OpenVPN - Mullvad DNS does not change (info inside)

I also tried WireGuard, same results, DNS do not change with Mullvad .conf or .ovpn

the pull-filter ignore "block-outside-dns " - not really needed, i try it anyway


I tried forcing DNS as well
dhcp-option DNS 1.1.1.1

The DNS will remain the same that the mullvad Provides :(
No matter what I do, I cannot change the DNS.


It's a shame this happens, because I do not want to change Mullvad due to security, privacy and speed reasons.


I may change if you guys have any good alternatives,
i tried IVPN, ProtonVPN and few other

All same issues, slow speeds, do not load all sites ... etc

I also tried other server ovpn configs..
same results

I try to put custom in network adapters or via dhcp-option DNS [custom] etc

DNS over HTTPS does not work either (but not interested for that anyway)


any ideas?

Maybe, if you explain what you are trying to do clearly then we can help.

All I see right now is a mess ..
