Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

But not thanks to the virtue of some effective blocking but just a lack of knowledge of the average user...
I have used several of those cheap routers over the years. And they simply can't block you from using encrypted DNS (unless they want to create giant blocklists and want to play wack-a-mole with DNS servers...).
So all they usually do is very low tech like ignoring the DNS you set in the router configuration and reroute it (or not providing such configuration in the first place). But they can effectively ony do so with unencrypted DNS.
With encrypted DNS they could at best try to block the default port used by DNSoverTLS but that still leaves DoH. And they can't block that because it's just regular encrypted HTTPS traffic (with the DNS quesry inside).
Iirc even Windows allows easy configuration of DoH nowadays (and for much longer if you were ready to edit the registry) where you can simply chose between unencrypted, DoH only or encryption preferred if available.
