Just a FWIW, I have not done this. But, in the past, I thought about doing it. My
reason being that I wanted some traffic to pass through the VPN so as to appear
originating in the US to access some video content. Things like liveTV, Hulu, Amazon
Prime, etc. I found it easier to subscribe to a VPN service provider that offered
proxyDNS.
That's certainly one use case. Another is to keep connections to a
corporate VPN separate from those for personal use.
