NextDNS with ProtonVPN

Question: I paid for NextDNS and configured it properly and is working fine on my devices. I was able to see all the logs. 

Then I installed ProtonVPN. In ProtonVPN, I used custom DNS server as NextDNS DNS servers. 

But when I login, I see the following message. 

"This device is not using NextDNS.

This device is currently using ”Host Universal Pty Ltd” as DNS resolver."
And also I do not see the logs.
So NextDns is not working. 

Suggest. I want to get benefited from NextDNS adn ProtonVPN.

Or is NextDNS is a VPN and I can cancel ProtonVPN?

    You need to read a little about what is a DNS and what is a DNS. You have some information here in knowledge base, on Proton and you can use a search engine and even AI. 

    NextDNS is only a DNS. 

    Many VPN by default use their own DNS. Some let you change it. Proton from what I see only allow IP v4 and IP v6 and not encrypted DNS.
