I have tricks too. My firewall forcibly redirects any outbound request on port 53 to the internal ip of my pihole. You’ll take my dns and you’ll like it Roku.
That workaround is slowly coming to an end as these devices start making DNS requests using DOH, which you will not be able to redirect, and will be much harder to detect and block.
The cat and mouse game of having a piece of technology you bought work with your interests in mind continues...
True. Then I guess I’ll just fall back to dumping it on a subnet that null routes everything outbound, and use like an Apple TV or a shield or something for all the content.
