changing dns Changing DNS settings on android - not workingAndroid doesn't work

My device is a LeMaker Guitar Kit. I do not have root access on the device. I followed the guide from XSLAB - How to Change DNS Settings on Android to change the DNS. I am accessing my WiFi at home. When iI set my dnsDNS on my androidAndroid device and go to dnsDNS leak test, it's not the dnsDNS that I set in the dnsDNS settings. ItsIt's the dnsDNS set by my ISP.

How can I get it to use the dnsDNS that I want?
