You can totally set it up so that pi-hole is your dhcp/dns server and it will catch any device on your network, even phones and windows machines. I block 60% of the shit coming out of my network.

Last I checked mine was at almost 80%. For a while there I was getting a shitton of traffic from outside that was getting blocked, which lead to a 99% reject rate, though.
Not sure what’s going on with my new room mate’s internet, but yeah that was a wild month of trying to get that all under control

Some shit bag devices (Chromecast were the first I knew about) started hardcoding DNS server addresses and/or using DoH. There are ways to capture those too, I believe.

I think the forum post I linked in this thread covers that. But honestly fuck those devices. Phantasy Star Online does this with the executable, and editing the server string fucks up the offsets if it isn’t the exact same length as Sega’s original server. Pain in the ass.
