Thus, over the holidays I dug in to see how annoying it'd be to do. This implements a very basic VPN tunnel that sets DNS to go over 1.1.1.1, in a basic UI as a status bar menu app. Some screenshots are below. I probably won't be pursuing this further in lieu of working on other projects, so anyone out there should feel free to take this and extend it as they wish.

Also, side note: you probably want a true VPN instead of this, but this isn't a bad approach either in the grand scheme of things. Probably one where doing your research is worthwhile. :) Also, side notes:
- There are two types of on-demand VPNs, which this uses - Personal and Enterprise. By using `NETunnelProvider`, the VPN profile counts as an Enterprise one, which trumps Personal in cases where two might get loaded.
- I wager CloudFlare probably goes much deeper than this, as some old documentation buried on Apple's site indicates that connections that use POSIX Sockets and `CFSocket` technically won't go through an on-demand VPN. If this is still true, I can't imagine they'd have overlooked it like this approach does.

This is very much a "do-wtf-you-want-with-it" license. Code is as-is. I'd like to give props to [this list of TLDs by popmedic](https://gist.github.com/popmedic/cf9472aa8c2adda875a484c5a1c5da06), because compiling it myself would've been annoying.

His code inspired some of the VPN portion as well; I spent enough time on it but couldn't come up with a better approach than his, so wound up just tweaking it slightly for my needs.
