If you do this, you'll be using the DNS you assign instead of using the VPN's DNS, as intended. That will make you stand out from the rest of the same VPN users, effectively affecting privacy.
One DoT provider you could choose is... Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls
mine gives me three choices. Off, Automatic, and Private DNS (type in your own). should i set mine to off then? will that prevent the leak?
so automatic will allow the leak?
