    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.

      Either stand out or let your ISP or Google/Cloudflare or VPN read all your domain visit queries. It is better to not let ISP or Big Tech decipher your internet history for obvious reasons.
