[Feature Request] Schedule filter on/off and also custom rules folder update
So it will disable a filter category at at specific time and then then re-enable it at a later time
also to update custom rules folder contents from e.g. github
think both of these would be welcomed additions

Used ControlDNS app to install yet NSLookup times out
I used the app to configure ControlDNS yet when I do a nslookup on a domain that I could not reach on Win10 I see that it is using server 127.0.0.1 and the lookup times out. The IPv6 is disabled on this machine and IPV4 is set to use 127.0.0.1. Even after allowing the domain through the filter the NSLookup still times out! Brave Browser reaches the domain after I put a filer in place yet NSLookup times out. IPV4 setting shows it is using 127.0.0.1 and IPV6 is disabled on Win10.
I just purchased a premium subscription at a discount and I am just wondering whether that was a mistake. Having to determine whether it is Brave Browser, uBlock Origin or ControlDNS that is blocking access to websites is frustrating at times

False domains block hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335)
Dear Master,
Sometimes some domains loads successfully without issues, but, however, sometimes it can't be accessed even that I didn't make any changes to my fiters or rules and even when I have already set these websites to be accessed and bypassed the rules and filtered. For example, the website "<https://ntlite.com">. This is a well-known website and it doesn't blocked by default by any filter or rule. However, later I discovered that some websites like the example above, is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) where the related IPs to (AS13335) is blocked by false or by mistake. In addition, IPs related to (AS13335) networks like (104.21.X.X) and (172.67.X.X) are blocked, which will make the hosted websites and services to be inaccessibile. Can you check further or investigate where is the problem because as I said, sometime it works but sometimes is not. Thank you.

Typosquatting Protection
Hello,
<br />
Does Control D have a setting, or a custom setup, to block incorrectly typed website addresses into the browser — e.g. gooogle.com instead of google.com?
Thank you!

Restrict Redirect Auto mode to home country
For the privacy redirect feature, I would like to use the auto mode rather than manually selecting a city. I live near the border of another country and it always picks an ip from a different country than my home country, causing services like riot games to geoblock me.
would it be possible to restrict the auto mode for the privacy redirect to only pick ips from my home country?

Any Plans for DAITA (AI-guided Traffic Analysis Defense) Feature on Control-D and/or Windscribe?
Hi there,
I recently came across Mullvad VPN's DAITA (Defense Against AI-guided Traffic Analysis), which aims to protect against advanced traffic analysis even when using encrypted VPN connections. I understand that traffic analysis is becoming a growing concern for privacy-focused users.
<https://mullvad.net/en/blog/defense-against-ai-guided-traffic-analysis-daita-now-available-on-linux-and-macos>
I'm curious if either **Windscribe VPN** or **Control-D (for traffic through transparent proxy)** has any equivalent feature or plans to implement something similar on your roadmaps?
I noticed that Windscribe has a "Decoy Traffic" feature, which is a step in this direction, but I was wondering if there's any plan to incorporate a more advanced solution like DAITA.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Control D Quick Setup app doesn't work on QF001 Roco K706 Android car head unit
I have a QF001 Roco K706 car head unit which runs Android 10 / fake Android 13. When I try to set the DNS to Control D via the "Control D Quick Setup" app downloaded from the Play Store the setup app stops working and the DNS is not set. Any advice how to fix it? Unfortunately, there is no setting in the head unit's setup menu to set the DNS, so I cannot use the manual setup method.
