I have the Asus XT8 router (with 1 mesh node), running Gnuton 388.8 FW. I tried to switch my DNS from Cloudflare to CleanBrowsing (security). I entered the IP addresses of the CleanBrowsing servers in the DNS Server field on the WAN tab. I also have DNS Director enabled on the LAN tab, and Global Redirection set to router. (Pls see the screenshots that follow.) But when I tried to check that this was working on DNSLeakTest.org, the results do NOT show that CleanBrowsing is my current DNS server.
Do the LAN>DHCP settings also have an influence?
And I think the result might be influenced by DNS settings in my browser.
Using Brave, DDG, and Safari, I get the same essentially the same result - the IP address may vary, but the hostname, ISP, and location are the same - and NOT CleanBrowsing. (This is regardless of how I set the DNS setting in Brave - even if I explicitly set it to CleanBrowsing in the dropdown menu.)
Using Firefox and Mullvad, I have a more fundamental problem, usually getting the “Hmm… we are having trouble finding that website” message, even though I’ve tried various network settings.
Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this mess? Please remember I’m technologically impaired when replying! Thank you.

Thank you!
