I use Mullvad VPN on a grapheneOS device and run the VPN pretty much constantly. I also use Newpipe as my YouTube client, which conflicts with the VPN and can't play videos. I have set up Mullvad split tunneling specifically for Newpipe.
Now, are there any benefits of setting Mullvad DNS in the device's network settings or does that conflict somehow with the VPN?
My thought is: If I set up DNS in the device network settings, will it only be used for non-VPN connections automatically? I have disabled DNS in the VPN itself, following the documentation on the Mullvad website.
Quote from Mullvad website: "This service is primarily meant to be used when you are disconnected from our VPN service, or on devices where it's not possible or desirable to connect to the VPN. When you are already connected to our VPN service the security benefits of using encrypted DNS is negligible and it will always be slower than using the DNS resolver on the VPN server that you are connected to."
Thanks in advance for your help.
