I have an Asus RT-AX86U and yesterday I ordered ExpressVPN. I was able to set it up easily enough, downloading the .ovpn file from ExpressVPN. When I do an IP look up, my IP address shows the city of the server I have been selecting. I live in Canada, and I have been selecting Canadian servers, and trying to use Canadian services - Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. After a bit I was able to get Netflix to work, but Prime Video keeps telling me that I am using a VPN or DNS server and I must turn it off to be able to watch Prime Video. Doing a full test I've found that I do have a DNS leak and lists a bunch of local IP addresses. Running individual clients isn't an option, I need something on my router. So far their tech support is telling me that I must have set it up wrong, which is pretty much 'passing the buck'. Literally the only settings on the router are putting in my user name, password, and turning it on after I upload their file. I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to computers, but I have very little experience when it comes to VPN. But to me, if they are saying it's something in the configuration, if my IP address is showing, say Vancouver and I live in Ontario, but there's a DNS leak, it sounds like that would be something in their end, not the router.
But, as I said, I'm kinda new. Any suggestions or advice?
btw, I'm using the latest firmware from Asus, and using the OpenVPN Cllient option within the router.
