Is DNS Encrypted with Linked IP Setup on VPN

If you use custom DNS and the linked IP setup option with a dedicated VPN is the DNS traffic encrypted in the VPN tunnel or does DNS go it’s own unencrypted  route outside the VPN?

    If you see Adguard app on IOS with Private Internet Access VPN you get  true split VPN of encrypted DNS and traffic encryption via the PIA VPN. You have to set the VPN to IPSec to get the split.

    the other option on desktop, PIA offers “use existing DNS” so you use the NextDNS config profile and set the PIA to WireGuard with Existing DNS.  Bingo you got Encryted DNS and VPN.
