I have a few questions about Adguard pro specifically the DNS function.
(the screenshots to the problem can be found here https://imgur.com/a/hqDpp and they are in the order that I am mentioning them)
--> so which one to trust ? Which one is applicable here and why is the adguard dns showing as OpenDNS?
3. I thought maybe its all just a mix up and tried running adguard with the OpenDNS profile
--> strangely enough your Adguard DNS website ALSO said I am running YOUR "adguard DNS", how can this be? Ad's werent blocked or at least didn't show up in the "DNS request log" either --> Again now it also showed that in fact OpenDNS was being used when testing it albeit another location. --> why does your website say it is in fact "Adguard DNS" that is running when it is labeled "Open DNS" and per fact also is open DNS as can be seen in the screenshots?
For all these problems there is probably a good reason, but for me as a user who bought the pro version because they liked the usability and transparency of the original app I'm just really confused by this and the seeming conflicting Privacy policies. Maybe somebody could help and explain it to me.
It would also be nice to have a help page that explains the strong suits of all the different DNS servers listed as it might make it easier to settle for one (I really like the Adguard help pages and found them very helpful) Also there was no tutorial concerning the DNS function.

- After installing Adguard pro (which is supposed to block ads trackers and phishing with its dns feature) I opened the DNS settings page and found it didn't contain a setting for the "Adguard DNS" but rather the first entry is OpenDNS (this is already confusing to me and maybe you could explain why that is ?
- And this is the big problem. I manually added the Adguard DNS as per your websites instruction (screenshot 2), then activated it, checked on your website which said "yes I'm running your DNS", ads also were being blocked, but when i looked at the DNS actually being used it showed it to be OpenDNS as well (screenshot 4)
