https://dnsleaktest.com/ showes AVAST MAKES MY (not-Avast)VPN LEAK

i use Nordvpn. it is alowed in avast and firewall.   with avast shields on i cannot see Netflix due to VPN being  LEAK
when i put Avast shields all off it is wortking normal. Other internetsecurity works fine. can you solve this? I need to see Netflix in openwifi surrounding in hospital  soon,  so i need a VPN there!
But if it is not gonna work,  do you give money back?

Avast does push its own DNS addresses, thus making your NordVPN SmartDNS not to be used for resolving. Try turning off "Avast Secure DNS" option that should do the trick.

Side note, SDNS is now called Real Site.

it should be a setting somewhere, as Avast also has a VPN progran integrated  :-[ ..... .  so i hope contact with support will supply the settings.
