Custom DNS
It be great to have the option to set a custom DNS, such as nextDNS, to customise DNS filtering of cookies, and blocking of websites.

A separate service where we could choose our lists and settings similar to NextDNS would be perfect.
As second best, custom DNS would do it as well, so we can set up NextDNS ourself. -

This is a critical requirement, or as an alternative, add a management/config panel for Proton's existing DNS for users to be able to add filters in a way of allowlist/blocklist

Find the network settings on your device.
Look for DNS settings.
Replace the existing DNS server addresses with those provided by NextDNS.
Save the changes.
After that, your device will use NextDNS for DNS resolution, allowing you to customize filtering and blocking through the NextDNS dashboard like https://luadist.org/final-fantasy-viii/ -

It would be great to create a custom DNS similar to NextDNS with the trustworthiness of Proton. If it's complicated to integrate it with ProtonVPN, the best approach would be to create a separate service where we could choose our lists and settings. This is because the current NetShield is practically ineffective, as we have no control over what is or isn't being blocked.

It is a must considering Proton's own DNS has no control or management features. I need to use my own DNS server, like NextDNS or ControlD.

I think this is a duplicate request (kind of!).
Is it possible to merge the requests if so to increase the power of the votes?

Please add support for using DoH / DoT for custom DNS.
As a temporary solution this guide works well https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/15x7q1q/guide_nextdns_proton_vpn_wireguard_doh3_on_ios/
Another option that works well is to install pextdns app for mac alongside protonvpn app, and in protonvpn use IKEv2. That will set up 2 VPN services in Mac, and allow nextdns to work.
For Windows you can use YogaDNS for nextdns alongside ProtonVPN, which seems to work.

I’d like to see the capability added in general in iOS much like how the Windows app allows a custom DNS. As it stands, proton VPN circumvents the DNS settings I have on iOS whenever it is on. In my particular case, the VPN bypasses content and site filtering I have on the DNS level. I can’t exactly regulate reliably it in screen time to compensate. Proton could also allow the app to defer to the DNS settings in iOS.

We need that kind of integration. Not just with NextDNS (which is y very good service that is) but ProtonVPN should really implement support for DoH and DoT as well as IPv6 when it comes to third party DNS provider

I would like to see DoT, DoH, DoQ available, not just Next DNS.

John commented
Killer feature, proton team please add it
-
John commented
Yes, maintaining a black list to block specific sites like ***********, new sites
-
COSYOS commented
It would be nice to have DoT, DoH and QUIC connections.

I am very interested in being able to use NextDNS.

As a Visionary subscriber to the Proton suite of services and a delighted customer of NextDNS, I'm very interested in the ability to use these two services together. Both show focus and excellence in applying leading privacy, security, and safety methods for online activity. Please allow users of your VPN to enable/use NextDNS.

I will like to be able to use custom DNS with Proton Vpn e.g. NextDNS. Mostly because iOS doesn't support more than one VPN or profiles at a time. But it can if the vpn app supports custom DNS. And I want to use proton I don't want another vpn service.
