@Vitaly@sic_semper_tyrannis in theory, yes, most VPNs include their own DNS. But that’s the thing, you’re giving your VPN provider all the info on what your DNS sees (you’re just moving the trust from your ISP to the VPN provider), so by having a separate private DNS you are effectively splitting your data over 2 different providers. For example, I use NordVPN, and NextDNS together (sometimes NordVPN with my local AdGuard Home as DNS as well).
