Chrome not using VPN DNS (Everything else is)

Question

DNS in chrome is not using my VPN DNS:

1. Things that should match private vpn DNS records are instead resolving again a public wildcard address
2. This only seems to happen in Chrome, iterm pings and firefox resolve correctly
3. clearing the host cache via chrome://net-internals/#dns doesn't help, not does clear all cache via settings. Restarting Chrome also doesn't seem to help
4. Going to a website via IP in Chrome works fine

Solution

For some reason using the "Built-in Asynchronous DNS" was not selecting my VPN DNS servers. I could see that the VPN DNS server was not being used via chrome://net-internals/#dns. As a workaround, I disabled this via chrome://flags:

The "Built-in Asynchronous DNS" flag was removed from Google Chrome, thereby disabling the "fix" for this. chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/…

@bertieb Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I don't see that flag in chrome://flags, can it still be disabled?
