Using the desktop application I get no leaks and its perfect. But today while messing around with Pihole and checking if it would work with a VPN/Merlin I have witnessed that when I use my VPN through the Merlin software on the router - without Pihole - the Mullvad DNS isn't even there, it's just my ISP.

My ip is from Mullvad but all 6 servers that are found in the extended DNS leak test is from my ISP. Surely this is something that can be fixed. What do I need to look in changing on my router? I am not well versed in networking so any help is appreciated.
