The openvpn_custom_dns option which is described in the README file does not actually work. Even if I set openvpn_custom_dns to a list of servers and also set openvpn_set_dns to true, my custom DNS server is not pushed to the clients.
document the current behavior, which in my understanding is this:
openvpn_dns_servers is the list of DNS servers to use
openvpn_custom_dns is a bool value that must be set to true to actually use the entries from openvpn_dns_servers (rather than the Google/Cloudflare servers)
openvpn_set_dns must be set to true as well to use the values from openvpn_dns_servers
simplify the current behavior: remove openvpn_custom_dns from code and documentation, and use only openvpn_dns_servers
