/e/ connects to connectivitycheck.gstatic.com and google.com when connecting to WIFI

While changing the default DNS server, the devs ran into problems:

So this issue seems to be more complex. While skimming through the Settings-menu, I did not find an entry for changing the DNS server.

However I am aware of two ways to change the DNS-server that /e/ uses:

  1. If your network-provider sends DNS-server IP-addresses by DHCP, then /e/ will use them.

  2. If you setup a VPN connection for your device, you can instruct /e/ to use an alternative DNS-server in the server-VPN-configuration-file with the command push "dhcp-option DNS IP-address".
