    It takes a bit of effort. A chromecast sideskirts your DNS and uses 8.8.8.8. I had to intercept the traffic and redirect it to my DNS server with easylist on it.

      yeah, i too have set up a redirect for port 53 to my DNS server on the main router, for a long time didn’t do that though. but then, even this doesn’t matter if they just hardcode a list of IPs

      that may not be enough. while I don’t know how common it is, it is not unknown that they use DoH, DoT, direct connections to hardcoded IP without DNS to evade such blocking measures. chinese IP cams often do the latter
