Feature Request : private DNS quick toggle

Overcook0708

Hi,

Thanks for this beautiful piece of software.

The usage guide suggests using Private DNS, and indeed I use it for system wide ad blocking. However it's very cumbersome to turn on and off when needed (public WiFi etc...). There's a useful app called Private DNS tile in Fdroid which creates a tile to quickly toggle it on or off (or auto), however this involves running adb commands which I don't believe is recommended.

Any chance for this tile or (similar tool to quickly toggle Private DNS) to be included as part of default GOS ?

Thanks a lot !

Why don't you simply use Private DNS all of the time? I'm unsure why you would turn it off when not on public wifi etc.

Does anyone else have a better way to use Private DNS ?

Is using always-on VPN with a VPN provider that has its own DNS server an option for you?

treequell not really for the same reason as above, it will break at work and some public hotspots
