DNS Query Source Analytics

I recently discovered a useful KPI in AdGuard DNS that I believe could be valuable for network administrators using ControlD. It would be beneficial if ControlD could display the number of queries from each ASN or network provider with their names, along with their respective countries. Additionally, it would be helpful to see the breakdown of plain text and encrypted queries, with encrypted queries further broken down into DOT, DOH/3, and DOQ. I recently encountered a DNS leak and struggled to identify the issue until I noticed that a device was bypassing the system-level DNS settings. Using DNS query type filters, I discovered that the client was using DOT, which I had overlooked in the filters. With a broader overview of DNS query bifurcation based on plain, DOT, DOH/3, and DOQ, I could have easily identified the issue.
