Idea: using internal "global proxy" as Pi-Hole-like adblocker

With last update to 3.0.2 we have got a "global proxy" option in WLAN-setting (pulley -> advanced).

I would like to see an enhancement there to have a native option for an "internal proxy". This internal proxy should work like Pi-Hole (which I also recommend!) does in LAN. I know that Pi-Hole does not work as proxy. But i assume a filter-proxy could offer the same result: which is blocking ads and trackers.

BTW: there could also be a native option to use TOR. (compare this: https://together.jolla.com/question/52808/one-click-tor-autoproxy-to-anonymize-all-the-data-traffic/)
