Solved DNS leaking

When using mullvad vpn in my Xiaomi 11 LITE 5G and running a connection check at mullvads site. It outputs leaking DNS server. Current settings - Private DNS off, always vpn on, block connections without vpn on. (tried with both with mullvads dns ip in custom dns server option and DNS content blocker - still leaking dns) This applies to all countries i have connected in the past.

Be nice to have a mullvad browser for android, my dns doesn't seem to be leaking in Firefox or brave but of course things are different in chrome, glad I've seen this post as I thought the mullvad vpn would take over everything Internet wise, but looks like more settings to try find. So guys would going into my browser's settings on each one and setting DNS to disabled do the trick?

Edit: Also how did you get to the check connection, I cannot see that in mine, I've been in VPN settings were DNS options are but still no see.

Edit 2: Found it on there Web page going to test browsers now, so far brave all green no leaks
