Dnscrypt-proxy2, dnsmasq, dc502wrt, dns leaks?

Using "Linux OpenWrt 4.19.81 #0 SMP Sun Nov 3 19:25:07 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux", from dc502wrt.org
I have configured dnscrypt and dnsmasq per
https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Installation-on-OpenWRT
Why am I using these instructions? I have not found better instructions, yet.
From terminal, using logread, dnsmasq logging indicates some DNS requests are forwarded to my ISP. All DNS requests appear to be going to dnscrypt-proxy (127.0.0.53) but some get additional forwarding to the ISP.
My desire is to not have any requests leaked to the ISP servers. How does one disable the DNS servers that are acquired by the DHCP handshake between the cable modem/company and the OpenWrt router.

Configure your WAN interface to ignore DNSs served by the ISP, it's just an option in LuCi.

Thank you. I have not noticed that option, yet. I will look more carefully.

I found the option. A bit of searching/reading.
DNS leaks are gone.
Thank you.
