[Feedback] NextDNS (iOS/iPadOS) v3.0.0 (beta)
Recently, I received the beta update for version v3.0.0 (iOS). It appears NextDNS has successfully met Apple's requirements to update the app.

I have some suggestions:
1. Add native DNS mode. The application requires at least iOS/iPadOS 16, which already supports native DNS, but the new version defaults to local VPN mode. Allow users to choose between native DNS (default) or local VPN mode, as most people want an application to quickly toggle DNS on/off, and native DNS mode doesn't consume as much device resources.
2. Allow disabling device name sending (as in the old version). In the new version, the application defaults to sending the device name "iPhone," which many users don't want to send to logs.
3. Allow domain exclusion directly in the UI. Ignore captive wifi domains or other private domains.
4. Add the profile ID to the configuration menu to hide it, ensuring privacy and preventing the ID from being revealed (when taking screenshots to share with friends/family for configuration purposes), unlike the old version.
5. Allow selecting anycast servers (as in the old version), in case some network providers block domain name resolution to find ultralow servers.
6. Support Shortcuts/Siri for custom control.
7. Allow selection of DoT with anycast or ultralow server options. Some users prefer to use this protocol.
I think these features are also useful on devices running Mac OS. Hopefully the application will be improved further.
Thanks to the team!
