AdGuard VPN version

2.5.1

Environment

- OS:W10
- Other network-level software: Portmaster

Which DNS server do you use?

Default

Custom DNS

Use Wintun

  • [ ] yes, I do

Issue Details

When I select 127.0.0.1 as the DNS on AdGuard VPN, your software is ignoring it and trying to bypass Portmaster. A local DNS resolver. AdGuard VPN completely ignores the DNS servers setting in Settings / App settings / DNS servers and tries to connect to multiple DNS servers in US (8.8.8.8), CN (223.6.6.6), CH (9.9.9.11), which is the reason why Portmaster blocks it for bypassing the local DNS. When a specific DNS server is specified in Settings, AdGuard VPN should only use that one: I believe this is a bug since it's not following what the user has chosen.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

In both cases, DNS set to Default or DNS set to 127.0.0.1 AdGuard VPN says "Connected" but then when I try to browse any website none can be reached. As soon as I disconnect the VPN websites can be reached again.
