I had similar plans for configuring OpenVPN on the same router, but Overplay Support have told me they think I will need to turn off the VPN for Smart DNS to work, but I do not want to have to do this.

Other than leaving Smart DNS running on the router, and manually configuring phone, laptop, desktop and server, is there a way to make this work?
