    To be truly effective you must also block DoH and DoT. The first can only be done with endpoint lists, since it is https.

      Hey, could you elaborate or send some lecture? I have the upstream quad9 DoH address in adguard. It’s supposed to better encrypt my traffic right? Never saw any ads or strange DNS requests.

      Never heard about ads being inject though DoH or DoT, or did I misunderstood your comment?

        Theoretically an app could use a custom DoH endpoint to retrieve ads instead of the standard dns provided by the system. As this uses purely https without a preceding dns request, pihole/adguard would fail to block it; but it’s just not something currently employed.
