Update DNS filtering advice in FAQ (#1389)

* Update DNS filtering advice in FAQ

Updates how to temporarily disable adblocking on IPsec and Wireguard clients separately, and also updates the IPSsec command to avoid `ipsec restart` which [isn't appreciated by systemd](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/strongswan/+bug/1287339).

## Can DNS filtering be disabled?
There is no official way to disable DNS filtering, but there is a workaround: SSH to your Algo server (using the 'shell access' command printed upon a successful deployment), edit `/etc/ipsec.conf`, and change `rightdns=172.16.0.1` to `rightdns=8.8.8.8`. Then run `ipsec restart`. If all else fails, we recommend deploying a new Algo server without the adblocking feature enabled.
You can temporarily disable DNS filtering for all IPsec clients at once with the following workaround: SSH to your Algo server (using the 'shell access' command printed upon a successful deployment), edit `/etc/ipsec.conf`, and change `rightdns=172.16.0.1` to `rightdns=8.8.8.8`. Then run `sudo systemctl restart strongswan`. DNS filtering for Wireguard clients has to be disabled on each client device separately by modifying the settings in the app, or by directly modifying the `DNS` setting on the `clientname.conf` file. If all else fails, we recommend deploying a new Algo server without the adblocking feature enabled.
## Wasn't IPSEC backdoored by the US government?
