It’s Still Stupidly, Difficult to Buy a ‘Dumb’ TV

It may be enough for that TV, but many devices have a custom-set DNS address and ignore the one given through DHCP, unless you set up a firewall where you block that address, then they fall back to using the one provided via DHCP. That's how Chromecast and Amazon devices are doing it.

DoH / DoT DNS privacy and security works both for and against individual users. It definitely works against network owners and operators.

This is why I had to set up a MITM to detect and drop DoH/DoT requests. Allowing devices and applications to evade my network management is crazy to me.

Have you written about how you did this anywhere, or do you not want to tip off "the other side"?
