Just add block-outside-dns in the ovpn configuration file just below the line of IP Address or hostname of the VPN server. After initializing, it won't allow any DNS query which is not passing through your VPN tunnel.

I don't believe they do.. at least they claim not to keep any logs. The VPN is implemented on my Linux system via OpenVPN.. I was not aware of any 'block-outside-dns' options | |

Your VPN service says they keep details about you. You have tagged openvpn in your question, how about if you use openvpn or softeteher instead? Openvpn also have an option to block-outside-dns.
