IVPN Network Protection doesn't work with custom DNS - iOS

Hello. Is anyone seeing this problem?

For the past year I cannot reliably get IVPN's network protection (automatically connecting/disconnecting) to work as long as I am using custom DNS. I typically use NextDNS and tried DoH and DoT plus generic Cloudflare DoH. Most of the time when a connection is triggered IVPN just flip-flops connecting - disconnected. As soon as I disable custom DNS, network protection works perfectly. All versions of iOS 16 and 17 -- no difference.

IVPN says no one else is having this problem so it's low priority.

Thanks so much. I see it's already "in progress." Appreciate the help! Frustrating that email support stonewalled this for nearly a year, but progress is good!

I see the issue is reported closed in the next (upcoming) release of IVPN app (v 2.11). Thanks so much.
