Can you not set the DNS server just as you do today? Or are you rewriting the IP for 8.8.8.8 to a private server and worried that HTTPS will prevent this?

I think 8.8.8.8 is hard coded somewhere in those devices. I can’t remember exactly how it worked, but it’ll ignore the dhcp assigned dns sometimes.

With DoH it’ll be impossible to block and I think there’s a good chance they’ll flat out ignore local dns at that point.
