Describe the bug
On macOS, DNS resolution stops working when Use AmneziaDNS is enabled for a self-hosted XRay connection. The app reports Connected, and fixed-IP HTTPS works through the VPS. Disabling only AmneziaDNS restores DNS while XRay remains active.

To Reproduce

Connect to self-hosted XRay VLESS/REALITY in full-tunnel mode.
Enable Use AmneziaDNS.
Observe that websites do not resolve.
Run dig +time=3 +tries=1 @1.1.1.1 google.com and dig +tcp +time=3 +tries=1 @1.1.1.1 google.com; both time out.
Disable only Use AmneziaDNS and reconnect.
Repeat the UDP query; it succeeds, and curl -4 https://api.ipify.org still returns the VPS exit IP.

Expected behavior
DNS resolution should work while AmneziaDNS is enabled.

Log files
Not attached.

Screenshots
Not applicable.

Desktop:

OS: macOS 15.7.7, arm64
Version: AmneziaVPN 5.0.0.5

Smartphone:

Not tested

Server:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

Additional context
No server configuration or split-tunnel exclusions were changed. Related to #2896, but in this case disabling AmneziaDNS alone is sufficient: public DNS works through the XRay tunnel without exclusions.

Странно. У меня на self hosted тоже стоит их DNS (используют Cloudflare) и работает нормально.
