It defeats DNS caching and blocking in the "subnet" because for most US users the DNS provider is an adversary, and trusting it would be a mistake.

But there is an entire world outside the US. I trust my local ISP way more than a US corporation.

That's fascinating, but now you know why people in the US are quick to embrace DoH in its default configurations. And, of course, nothing ties DoH to major US corporations. You can DoH to a NUC in your cousin's bedroom closet.

I run DoH on a raspberry Pi with piHole. And then DoH from it to Quad9's servers. DNS blocking, with DoH.

You can also just run Pi-Hole directly on something like Fly.io, and DoH to it from your local machine. :P

Interesting - I assume their free tier is enough to run this.

However, local caching on the Pi might yield faster lookup time.
