Conflict when using OpenVPN and AdGuard DNS Filtering

I am using Adguard v8.0.5560.0 for Windows and using DNS protection with a personal DNS server from AdGuard DNS (free tier – testing it).

In my work, I am using OpenVPN to access our internal DNS and so on. When adguards DNS protection is on, the connection to the internal DNS is not working.

In the documention I read that you can configure upstream DNS servers for specific URL's but I cannot find a setting for this in the app. I also tried redirect User Rules that also do not work in a predictable fashion. They work for the browser but not in the Powershell for example.

No matter what I do, in the filtering log the resolution seems to always happening in the private Adguard DNS server.

Using the WPF driver.

Any ideas if it is possible to configure this setup so I don't have to shutdown the DNS protection when working on the company's VPN?
