Is that why no matter what I do, dnsleaktest always tells me there are 5 google DNS servers when testing on the laptop, which does show the remote location so the VPN is working, when laptop connected to this openwrt router with wireguard running on the router?

Yes.

I also had to change the WAN DNS to custom same IPs as in wg0 for wg0 to allow handshaking, which wouldn’t work until I did.

There can be a bit of a chicken or egg situation here… you need your wan to be able to use a public DNS in order to resolve the remote WG endpoint and an NTP server so that the device can have the correct time. If you use a non-public DNS, things won’t resolve and you’ll be deadlocked.

I just cannot seem to get the dns leaking tied down.

There are some tricks for this… I would recommend first searching the forum for answers. If you don’t find answers that work for you, open a new thread for that specific issue (DNS leaks with Wireguard).

Regarding the specific question posed in this thread, I believe I have answered it. As such…
