Local domains not working

Bug report

Describe your environment

• Device: Desktop
• OS name and version: Linux Fedora 40
• IVPN app version: v3.14.14

Describe the problem

I use local domains such as app1.localhost to connect to different apps on my localhost. However, when I connect IVPN this stops working. Such local domains work because, in normal conditions, localhost is pointed to 127.0.0.1 i the local DNS.

This happens because of the Firewall and DNS configuration.

When the VPN is connected:

1. By default, IVPN Firewall blocks connectivity in your LAN.
2. IVPN changes DNS configuration to use the IVPN DNS server.

To make local domains work for you, you can:

1. Configure the IVPN app to use your local DNS server (Settings -> DNS -> Use custom DNS server when connected to IVPN).
2. Allow LAN connectivity (Settings -> IVPN Firewall -> Allow LAN traffic when IVPN Firewall is enabled).

Please, note: Modifying these settings might reduce the security of your VPN connection. Proceed with caution and ensure you understand the implications of these changes.
