DNS

A server where you ask what IP is connected to the letters you enter in the browser.

VPN

A way to connect to someone else's pc and Internet.

The issue that I had with dns was for example connecting to the router.

It has a url like fritz.box so you get to the UI. Now with a vpn this won't work, because the router is circumvented and can't redirect your DNS request to its own ip.

However the ip of the router still works.

So you must know that when using a vpn you have the dns of the config in router of your vpn provider. You can overwrite that on various places but it is a bit confusing.
