Force Private/Paid VPN (like IPVanish or NordVPN) to use Pi-Hole DNS (II)

[RamSet]

I found out that boston.com in chrome is not the best test. Chrome seems to inject Ad-Sense ads, even with Pi-hole enabled.

See this:

Boston.com

On PC Chrome - ads are present (seem to be delivered by ad-sense): [image] and log shows: [image] Same PC - Firefox: [image] No weird domains in the log: [image] No 3-rd party plugins or browser addons. L.E. Time to ditch Crome ...

What is your internal IP assigned by the VPN when connecting?

You are probably experiencing delays either due to routing issues or possibly you have the wrong DOMAIN set-up in your ovpn file.

Make sure it matches what your router/DHCP server is broadcasting.

I am running the VPN server locally and the response (either for the DNS only instance of the VPN server or the full VPN instance - traffic masking + dns) i don't experience any delays.
