Feature Request
Current Behavior
The "Change DNS Server" button in CachyOS Hello currently only allows selecting from predefined DNS providers with DoH/DoT enabled by default. There's no option to disable encrypted DNS or specify custom DoH/DoT servers.
Problem
When users implement their own routing through a router or run their own DNS server (e.g., Pi-hole, AdGuard Home), the current implementation bypasses upstream custom DNS and routes traffic through CachyOS's predefined servers instead. This breaks custom DNS setups and prevents users from using their own network infrastructure.
Proposed Solution
Add the following options to the DNS Changer GUI:
- Disable DoH/DoT button - Allow users to completely disable DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS
- Custom DoH server input field - Let users specify their own DoH server URL
- Custom DoT server input field - Let users specify their own DoT server address
Use Cases
- Users running their own DNS servers (Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Unbound, etc.)
- Network administrators who need traffic to go through their infrastructure
- Users who prefer traditional DNS resolution
- Privacy-conscious users who want to use specific DoH/DoT providers not in the preset list
Additional Context
This would give users full control over their DNS configuration while keeping the convenience of the GUI tool.
