Please add DoT/DoH DNS support for Custom DNS

I know they just use unencrypted DNS via IP4 and IP6 since they are encapsulated inside VPN traffic, but inability to add custom DoT or DoH addresses as custom DNS just complicates so many things that would be easily and entirely solved if it was an official option inside ProtonVPN. For dumb DNS services it's fine, but if you're using something more advanced that needs linking to your particular system and your particular profile to do its advanced functionality, that's an issue.

For example on Android it's the easiest since Android OS DNS setting always overrides everything else, even what's used inside VPN. I just set it inside OS native feature and it just works.

It gets complicated on Linux because the Proton VPN client is even more basic and setting anything on Linux is such a nightmare. And same on Windows. I'm forced to run YogaDNS next to ProtonVPN when to override DNS when I could just input the desired DoT into ProtonVPN directly and be done with it.

And before anyone says there is NetShield, yes, there is, but I'm used to use HaGeZi Ultimate on all my systems with additional power features NextDNS has that NetShield just doesn't offer.
