I configured my Asus router with asuswrt-merlin firmware to route all DNS traffics to my Adguard instance to catch those apps and devices with hard-coded DNS. Those routed DNS queries appear in adguard as originating from my router’s IP address, so I can easily see what apps and devices trying to bypass my dns. Turns out it’s Netflix.
