Lock "Allow Switch Mode" app preference when profile is locked

There is an option called “Allow Switching Modes” in App preferences that lets you switch between WARP and DoH mode from WARP on your PC, and can be activated and deactivated even when you lock your profile. I would like to have the option to lock this setting.
I’d like you to do something to let each user block whatever they consider necessary after locking their profiles, and based on their own preferences, as I think it’s not recommendable to block the entire Tech Lockdown website because you need to have access to it whenever you need to block a new website on the content policy.

Thank you. Is there one mode more efficient than the other? What's the purpose of offering two modes? Which should be ON by default?

Marc: These are modes offered by Cloudflare, so we make them available, but there are also some good reasons why you might use one over the other. WARP mode is essentially a proxy while DoH is DNS settings only. DoH mode is the most compatible mode that rarely causes any conflicts, while WARP mode might cause some conflicts. With WARP mode, you can use HTTP policies (we don't support these currently in the Tech Lockdown dashboard). HTTP policies allow you to filter URLs instead of only being limited to domains. That would allow you to do things like filter specific pages within a website. For example, block "reddit.com/r/bad-keyword" while still allowing access to all other parts of reddit.com.

when profile is locked, switching from DoH mode to WARP mode is disallowed. The option to toggle Allow Switching Modes is also disabled
