IVPN DNS over OS/ISP DNS
Feature request
Force IVPN DNS
Description
Always use the set IVPN DNS (config) over the normal one, could be done for the custom DNS too. A clear and concise description of the problem or missing capability. I could be wrong with my idea, but it can be helpful as a User to even Force the DNS over the IVPN app. Could be good for users which Trust you a lot so can use your DNS itself. Same as have some extra protection against DNS Leak as the OS itself.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option at the Desktop versions (and may Phone's too?) which you can enable to Force the IVPN DNS
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know SPN have an option like that already if I don't understand it wrong.
To my knowledge iVPN already runs all DNS queries through the VPN when enabled. Else, this is called a DNS leak and is a serious issue. They even deployed a website to verify that your DNS requests run through the VPN provider: https://www.dnsleaktest.com/
If you verified that you are using your provider's DNS or another DNS server than iVPN's even through ivpn, it might be your browser messing up your DNS config with a setting called "secure DNS". However, those requests still go through the VPN they are just not directed at iVPN's DNS servers. Turn Secure DNS off completely and you should be using ivpn servers's DNS while connected through the VPN.
When ivpn is disabled, runing DNS requests through the VPN shouldn't be done. If you want to run just your DNS through the VPN you can do so with split tunelling.
I know IVPN have a website for that etc. and all fine with "Leaks".

Why exactly shouldn't be done? Because IVPN does not have Public DNS, yet this sounds some good for the Customer to have the extra DNS Leak protection + Simply sounds like a random nice option for some people I would say.
