Allow ProtonVPN to use existing LAN DNS/Custom DNS
I run my own secure DNS. I would like for ProtonVPN to offer the ability for the user to elect to use an existing DNS / Custom DNS rather than the Proton DNS server. Private Internet Access, which I no longer use since changing to ProtonVPN, began offering that recently and it works well. There may be a security risk doing that but the user should be able to specify if they still want to do it. I would use my own DNS when on my LAN, and the Proton DNS when on a different network. Thank you.

I see the option to choose a custom DNS in the Windows app but not in the Android and IOS apps. I would like to be able to choose my own DNS service for these apps as well. Or ProtonVPN should offer the option to block ads, tracking cookies and other privacy infringing technologies. Maybe you can take a look at NextDNS.io which offers these options to it's users.

I think this feature is a must and it's the only issue which really plagues my ProtonVPN experience (I even think that I would try to find another provider instead of renewing ProtonVPN service).
It's an advanced and potentially dangerous feature but it's a must.
