For mullvad VPN did you set up stuff like kill switch on it, and if you are using Qbittorrent did you go to settings > Advanced > Network Interface to tie your VPN to the client? Do you still get leaks after that if you go http://ipleak.net/ to do a torrent address detection check with a magnet link they provide?

Just change your DNS config in the OS you use, I suggest you to use NextDNS but 1.1.1.1 should do the work too.
If you don't know how to do it just check out NextDNS.io for more details.
Use Mullvad DNS, they even offer a public address available to anyone. Last time I checked, Mullvad was a nonprofit, so hopefully less greedy than a corporate VPN imho. Public DNS is 194.242.2.2
