Feature Request: Email notification when a native or 3rd party Filter is triggered?

I can see this being useful if any of my endpoints or clients trigger the Malware filter (I would want to know so I can quickly quarantine), or if e.g., a teenagers client device tries to access illegal/restricted websites.

Feature Request: Per-Rule Block Response Override in Custom Rules

Problem:
The Block Response setting is currently global to the Profile. This creates issues when different blocked endpoints require different handling—such as returning ⁠NXDOMAIN⁠ to prevent socket timeouts on specific services, or sinkholing a domain to an internal IP (block page) without forcing that behavior across the entire Profile.

Feature Request: [CTRLD] Allow Overriding "LAN queries will be handled solely by the OS resolver" Behavior

It would be nice if there was a flag/etc to override this behavior and specify a specific upstream for LAN Queries (specifically, bare host queries without a domain - e.g. machine1, machines2). For my use case, all bare queries should go to dnsmasq on a router listening on port 53053. CTRLD lives in a docker container on a separate VM, and all clients point to that address:53.
