Proton DNS as a Secure, Private alternative to 8.8.8.8 or ISP / CDS
Dear Proton Team,
I recently got deep into DNS and found out that most DNS Servers out there are not very private.
Therefore I'm proposing, could be an addition to Proton VPN, a Proton DNS Server.
Examples of competitors would be 8.8.8.8 (Google), 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), or 94.140.14.14 (Ad-Guard DNS, the only somewhat private I could find).
This could also be the opportunity to build a CDS Network as a competitor to Cloudflare.
I'm sure this isn't an small project but this could develop into a trustworthy, private alternative in Europe against Google and Cloudflare.
Stay Safe!

I'd love to see a Proton Mail DNS service - something that is anonymous and secure.

I left a feedback about two weekd ago regarding a third party DNS resolution. At least the Android version of the app connects to dns11.quad9.net/443, presumably for DNS resolutions over HTTPS.
1. Why is it necessary? I blocked that connection through a device firewall and the PM app seems to still work.
2. This DNS server brings question of privacy. Especially, given there seems to be no alternative choices in the app setting.
3. Since I use black(/pi)-hole type of blocklists with my device and a local DNS cache in my home router with more extensive blacklists, DOH usage by PM is bypassing both, thus negative my privacy and security setups.
Expected: Use system DNS or add an setting to change DNS setting within the PM app.
Thank you. -

A DNS Server with DNSSEC and DNS-over-TLS or HTTPS, with custom blacklists. Could be integrated as a Feature in ProtonVPN
Similar like to NextDNS or the Blockada App (local VPN).
