Need help setting up NordVPN DNS servers

dhbar

New Around Here
Not sure where to ask this so I'll try here

I'm trying to use Nordvpn with its dns servers

If I use their app (windows) connecting to UK I see the DNS servers being used as
193.160.246.245 - NordVPN - London, United Kingdom - with variations to last byte
using DNSLEAKTEST.COM

I then set up a vpn client using a opvn file generated on their website and installed it on my router
I then created a guest network (customised network) connecting via the OpenVPN for Nordvpn I just created

In the vpn client I have set Accept DNS Configuration as Exclusive
and left LAN->DNS Director as off
I do not get the Nordvpn DNS servers - I get Google servers

I then tried LAN-> DNS Director User defined DNS 1 as those recommended by Nordvpn with the DNS for my GN set to User Defined 1
and again I just got he Google DNS servers

I want to use the DNS servers for Nordvpn only when using the GNP connection so I don't want to set them in the WAN section

Can it be done ?
 
Have you tried setting the DNS server on the guest network pro, profile name, network, advanced settings, DNS server?
