Trying to prevent DNS leak with VPN and pihole + unbound

I have had my pihole + unbound setup for a while now all working fine, however when I’m at home on my phone (or really whenever) I’m usually connected to VPN through nord. Looking for a way to get the benefits of both my pihole and vpn.

I have been trying to do a setup where vpn is set up on router so my pihole handles DNS first and traffic goes through vpn, but I have a DNS leak this way showing my ISP.

When adding both my phone and pihole to vpn list on router, I experience issues. I think it is because of the recursive nature of unbound along with the vpn service.

Any way to go about this or if what I’m trying to do even makes sense?
