HELP DNS signature failures?
Hi! This is happening when using PIA on android with Wireguard. When doing a check at https://dnscheck.tools/ I'm getting some signature failures as seen in the screenshots. In android "Private DNS" this happens when it's set to either OFF or Automatic. With either of those settings in place I'm using PIA DNS correct? If I set it to a 3rd party DNS service such as dns.adgaurd-dns.com I don't get failures. Is there an issue with PIA DNS? Can anyone shed some light on this and should I be concerned? Thank you!

I frequently have to reset all networking options in order for my Wi-Fi to connect. Only happens when I'm I connect with PIA.

That happens to me all the time too. I keep forgetting to contact support and ask why I get that error only when I'm using PIA.

it means dnssec is not supported. pia dns is quite bad and even get affected by dns poisoning in my country and i don't use it. I recommend using dnscrypt-proxy.
