Openvpn yes, but this app clearly not.' Not entirely true, in my experience it really fucks with your ability to connect to public hotspots (ex. airports, airplanes, trains, coffee shops) which took me a while to realize

Well this is normal if those network rely on their special DNS servers to connect you.

It's not cloudflare you should blame here, but those providers

Is blame really relevant?

I think it is, as they don't follow any standard if they return wrong DNS answers, and they might mess with user's systems
