sighs… I take you never heard that hard coded IP addresses can’t bypass you router (using iptables/notables) forcing queries only on port 53 of your server of choice and that DoH/DoT servers can be blocked by a simple DNS blocklist (a feature in both ControlD and NextDNS, for instance).

I thought you just needed “a DNS blocker ffs”

That alone would solve 99% of the problem.

What other statistics can you pull out of you butt crack? Rhetorical question. Here’s one I pulled out of mine: blocking DNS requests is out of reach of 98.5% of the vast majority of most users, probably. Hell. That is likely how many users don’t even know about it.
