I’ve contacted their support at EE and they said no issue running a VPN Server on their line.I’m on EE full fibre - so not mobile broadband.If you get to the bottom of it it would interesting to know what it was! Try from another client, eg a smartphone or a Windows machine perhaps, just to compare. When you go into your Mac's DNS settings, are you seeing the Cogent servers in there in grey before you change them? If so then they're being handed to your Mac by something, or some installed software has added them and is messing you around. Worth dropping a support mail into EE and asking them to clarify if they use these servers anywhere. Perhaps CGNAT makes these leaktest services unreliable, depending on how they draw their conclusions. They don't mention which servers but it sounds suspiciously similar. Is this EE connection via their mobile network or is it fixed line (ie after it goes out from your EE router)? I found this post where someone is complaining that EE's older 4G mobile service is "overriding" their DNS with German DNS servers. So it looks indeed like it is not a Pi-hole issue, just a case of Pi-hole helping reveal that this is happening. When you put in the Nord VPN servers explicitly, you essentially remove those servers and get the expected behaviour. I think that is because these Cogent servers are being served to your client from somewhere, instead of (or as well as) the Pi-hole or Nord VPN servers you are expecting. The reason I thought the issue could be with pihole, is because when I put NordVPNs own DNS servers in the TCP/IP settings on the client (my Mac, IPad etc), only those DNS servers show on the leak test, Not an expert at this by any means - very much following my nose, so any help most appreciated. It seems to me as if something in the Pihole is being routed to the Cogent server? I have tried clearing caches etc. Obviously that circumnavigates the Pinhole's so not ideal. However - if on my client, in network settings, I enter the two NordVPN DNS servers shown above, gives me this -ġ85.16.205.33.205.16.Hydra Communications LtdLondon, United Kingdom and BBC iPlayer works.
