How does it work with Android and laptop? And my laptop doesn't recognize NordVPN. I can't use it even though I'm paying for it.
What does "does not recognize" mean, how can I imagine that?
If I want to specify my VPN connection in the settings on the laptop, only Windows 10 (integrated) is displayed.
How about the right software

You really don't have any idea what you're paying for.
I think if I had the idea and the knowledge, I wouldn't ask, right? And I haven't paid during the trial week anyway and since it didn't work, I canceled the subscription anyway. But thanks for the link
Yes, you have to install a client. That should be in the first search result when you google 'setup nordvpn'
You can't change Google's DNS server. Google determines which DNS servers they use.
As far as I know, you can't change the DNS server on Android. The system is informed of this with the IP configuration. You do not have access to the configuration. That's why I have my own VPN server that I connect my phone to. He gives me the DNS server of my choice. This is how I block ads.
On a computer with Windows you can configure the DNS manually in the settings of the respective interface ("network adapter"). You can find instructions en masse with the search engine of your choice with the search terms
Set Windows DNS Server

As far as I know, you can't change the DNS server on Android.
At least with the Huawei P20 Pro with Android 10 (Emui 10) it works like this:
Settings → Other connections → Private DNS
Regarding NordVPN: You are already using NordVPN's clients, right?
Regarding DNS: It should work the same way on the laptop as on any other PC. Android I can't say anything.
Thanks for the hint. The setting is not unique to Huawei, it is an Android setting. That is probably quite new. I can find it under Settings> Connections> Other connection settings
