I would like to be able to use a different VPN app, and still use this as my DNS server. I can do this in that other VPN by specifying a different server. It would be very nice if there was a flag which exposed your DNS filtering on a local address.

Oh, that's clever. That seems actually possible. But it does require quite some rework.

Yes, please!
This is a really clever, easy to design, easy to implement way of getting this working nicely with true VPNs and other VPN apps.

Getting this (or any system-wide adblock solution without root) working properly is an issue I struggle with every day, so implementing a workaround like this saves me time, hassle, and my warranty.

Oh well, one point to realise is that we can only listen to high ports, and not to port 53, so anything using it would need support for DNS on other ports.

So is this a planned feature still? It would be nice to know whether to expect this or not.
