      @jahonix EDIT: Basically the DNS leak test website asking to resolve a url and who ever resolves it for him is listed in the results. I had to think about it for a few moments and also do a test where I'm connected directly to my ISP's Modem/Router (bridge mode) and then the results were 10+ DNS servers belong to my ISP.

      Now, after I setup pfSense to act a "natural resolver" I see only my personal IP in the DNS leak test results.

      Bye bye Cloudflare....lol. Now I just want to make sure these DNS queries go through my VPN gateway.

      Thank you for the explanations nonetheless :)
