Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now I have to chattr +i my resolv.conf file to prevent ProtonVPN from changing my DNS servers.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to allow users the option to set custom DNS servers.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, I sort of temp fixed it by using chattr +i but this is not optimal because it makes ProtonVPN GUI prompt that my connection to ProtonVPN failed (even though it didn't).

Additional context
None.

If you don't want them changed, you can just disable DNS Leak Protection, then it won't touch resolv.conf.

Hi @arch-btw

Atm that is not possible. The only (and possible) solution would be to disable DNS Leak Protection in the settings menu, as Rafficer has previously pointed out.

Thanks @Rafficer & @calexandru2018 , that solves my problem. Maybe we should clarify what DNS leak protection does exactly. I had no idea what it did.
