Is it possible to create a link to the DNS settings (created by NEDNSSettingsManager) directly from the app? That would be more user-friendly than explaining the user how to get there.
The question applies to iOS and macOS.

You can open the Settings app from your app:

Code Block swiftif let settingsAppURL = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString),
    UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(settingsAppURL) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(settingsAppURL, completionHandler: { (settingsAppOpened) in
        
    })
}

But opening the Settings app to a specific location DNS Settings, such as VPN and Network -> DNS -> Your App, is an Enhancement Request. Please respond back on this thread with the Feedback ID.
