Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

  Some newer TVs are starting to have hard-coded DNS servers, which means they’ll bypass most PiHole configurations.

  You could try configure your router to redirect all DNS traffic (UDP port 53) to your PiHole server, but that won’t work of they’re using DoH (DNS over HTTPS) which is becoming more and more common.

    Just remember to allow your pi-hole DNS request through the firewall. Otherwise nothing works.

    Unfortunately there’s also DNS over HTTPS

    A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver.

    Translated, “man in the middle attack” means “Pihole or similar”. Devices with hard coded addresses for this phone home, or don’t work.
