DNS traffic can leak outside the VPN tunnel on Android

We were recently made aware of multiple potential DNS leaks on Android. They stem from bugs in Android itself, and only affect certain apps.

  I tried out rethink DNS but I did not manage in any way to just use my VPNs DNS. Would you have a hint how to make it work?
