Use both VPN and nextDNS (lemmy.ml)

I have a VPN, but don't use it that often. Whenever the VPN is not active, I'd like to use nextDNS. Is there a smart/automated way to do that?

Thanks @Vexz@kbin.social and @lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats, I really should have actually tried this before getting all confused about the issues of people who want to use it at the same time.

It's not super automated, but the switching with the Android and Windows Apps do not take more than 30 seconds.
