"No, it's not" The root's observation is that it doesn't use the machine configured DNS. The overwhelming majority of VPNs also don't use the machine configured DNS. Maybe not "any", but if you're using a VPN you're generally going to want your DNS going over it as well. But it is worth noting if you're on a corporate network, or if you use a DNS solution like NextDNS -- when you turn on PR those no longer play a part, at least to Safari traffic.
