My router keeps changing my DDNS to match my VPN instead of my modem's IP, anyway to ensure that it's always the modem's IP?

I started using NOIP recently and I installed the client at first but then realized that my Nighthawk8500 had DDNS NOIP built-in. I then immediately uninstalled the windows client and put my credentials in Netgear's UI, seemed to work fine for a while until I turned on PIA and NOIP switched the IP to the one PIA provided me.

PIA does not run on the router, I'm using the Windows desktop client - doesn't make sense as to why NOIP would even know the VPN is running.

Now I have to constantly check the router and make sure that my NOIP account has the right IP, is there some way to fix this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

If you run the vpn on your pc but the noip on the router it really has no way to even know you are running a vpn or what vpn it is. It will always use the ip it gets from the ISP on its wan port

If you are running both the vpn and the noip on the router then it is much harder to say. The router would have to be smart enough to pick up the IP that the VPN provider was giving it and then use that with the DDNS. I have a similar problem trying to force my router to send ping commands that come from the router itself over the vpn. I am use dd-wrt and had to force it in the iptables manually.
