Usage with MullvadVPN

As explained in #221, VPN operators sometimes filter high DNS/UDP traffic. To avoid packet loss you can tweak a few settings in the client app.

    1. Go to Settings > VPN settings and set Wireguard as the default tunnel (the settings we need are only available with Wireguard).
    1. Still in the same section, raise the MTU (=maximum transmission; determines the largest packet size that can be transmitted through your network) to its maximum of 1420.
    1. Go back to Settings > VPN settings and add a custom DNS server (e.g Cloudfare's 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1). It will disable 'DNS Protection' which is not a problem: it won't mess with our traffic system.

Happy hacking! s/o to Saber for letting me know about #221, helped me solve this problem & understand it. If this doesn't solve the problem, open an issue and tag me (@noctisatrae).
