Description

Could you please add an option "Allow only DNS over TLS"?

This should apply to all HTTP/HTTPS requests done by (or passthrough by) GmsCore, including the one for adding a Google account; if enabled all requests that use unencrypted DNS (only the ones that pass within GmsCore) should be switched to DNS over TLS or negated.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing how GmsCore handles DNS for its HTTP/HTTPS requests, including the Google-account flow, then identify where an option could cover both direct and passthrough requests. Done means the option is available and every affected unencrypted DNS request is either sent over DNS over TLS or prevented.
