FYI for those using DNS-based adblocking: I discovered that my AndroidTV box asks 8.8.8.8 when my local DNS server blocks a request.
Block all port 53 traffic from your network outside of your DNS server/pihole itself.
Block all known DoH servers.
If you want to get REALLY fancy you can write a NAT rule that will force any outgoing request on port 53 to route to your dns/pihole.
I do all of this. It's actually funny to see the requests that were hardcoded to go somewhere. Giant fuck you to those companies.
